How do I add tax to a sale?

You don't do it at a dept level, you change it at the payment level.
Go into programming and choose key programming. Change the taxable status of the cash and other payment keys depending upon the desired status.

It depends on your jurisdiction and your calculator.

For example, I am in Ontario where the Harmonized Sales Tax is 13%.

To calculate the HST, you multiply the amount by 13/100 or 0.13. On some calculators, you can hit 13 then the percent key and it divides the number by 100.

To calculate the total including tax, add a 1 in front of the decimal. With 13% HST, you would use 1.13. So for a purchase of $100, you would get $113.

Good luck.

Partly this is a matter of interpretation. If $101.65 is seen as 100% then sales tax is
$101.65 x 6.25 / 100 = $6.35

However there is a flaw in this. The remainder (the sale price) is
$101.65 - $6.35 = $95.30

So what was the sales tax on this remainder?
6.35 / 95.30 x 100 = 6.67%........too much

So we should regard the $ total as 106.25% not 100%. Then the amount which was sales tax is really
$101.65 x 6.25 / 106.25 = $5.98

101.65*0.0625=6.35$

5.98

Sales tax is simply a digital factor of a dollar, so 7% would be 7 cents on each dollar. the way to figure 7% sales tax on $22.50 would be: $22.50 X 0.07 = $1.58 for a total of $24.08.

Once the check is ready for printing you add the the collection credit as an additional line in the expenses tab at the bottom of the check.

You're right, the manual is terrible but I think I got it worked out...
Turn to PGM mode.

• Press 3 then subtotal button.
• Press subtotal button again.
• Then endter tax rate (if even enter two digits 05 for 5%, if more enter 4 digits like 5.75 *5+.+7+5 for 5.75%) and press ca/amt tend button
• Press 0 and press ca/amt tend button
• Press 0125 and press ca/amt tend button *this is for rounding/tax table code not positive on this one but looks like the right entry for "add on" tax
• Press sub total button

This should change your tax

hi lilwallace;
The federal excise tax of 8% on the round trip ticket is calculated by multiplying 8% times the price of the ticket. Remember 8% is written as .08 when we multiply.
$832 times .08 = $66.56 is the excise tax

$832 times .06 = $49.92 is the sales tax

Now we just add the ticket price plus the excise tax and the sales tax and we get $832 + $66.56 + $49.92 = $948.44

Hope this helps Loringh PS Please leave a rating for me.. Thanks

Hi.
That could be tricky. we will need to go through the tax setup in your machine.

My first questions are:

1. Does it happen on all department (item buttons)?
2. Does it happen no matter what payment method you use (cash, check,credit)?
3. When you push Subtotal, does it show the wrong amount then, or only when you press a payment type to open the drawer?
