Taxes Programming
The NR-500 Series allows three calculation options for each of the four possible taxes.
Add-On - most sales taxes can be programmed by entering an add-on tax
percentage rate.
VAT - if tax is included in the cost of the item, you can use value added tax
(VAT) to calculate the tax share of each sale.
A fourth tax programming option, for the Canadian Goods and Services tax
(GST) can be set using tax rate 4.
Important Note: After you have entered your tax program, test for accuracy by
entering several transactions of different dollar amounts. Carefully check to make
sure the tax charged by the cash register matches the tax amounts on the printed tax
chart for your area. As a merchant, you are responsible for accurate tax collection.
If the cash register is not calculating tax accurately, or if you cannot program your tax
properly from the information in this manual, contact your Dealer for assistance.
