CALCULATING STATE TAX TABLE CODES
CALCULATING BREAKPOINTS
IMPORTANT:
ThiS
is
a one lime only procedure.
Once
Ihe code
lor
Ihe lax lable has been established
and
entered
inlo
the
register, h never has
10
be
repealed. Please lake
Ihe
time
10
lollow
Ihe
example given
and
lamitiarize yoursen
with
the
method
of
determining the code. Then using lhe
Worksheellhal
follows, fill
in
the appropriate amounts Irom
your approved
tax
table and derive Ihe corresponding code by
si~ty
lollowing the sleps given.
Every tax table consists
of
lax brackets. Each consecutive
tax
bracket
is
assigned a lax which
is
exaclly one cent
higher Ihan
Ihal assigned
to
the previous lax bracket.
In
the Program Example Ihal fotlows a
sale
from
O(
10
14(
is
nol
laxed. However,
in
the
neiCI
lax bracket a sale from 15;:
to
37(
is
taxed 1
It.
Likewise,
in
the
nexl
tax
bracket a
sale
from lBIt
10
62\1:
is
taxed 2it. The tax table progresses
in
a similar torm.
The diNerence between
Ihe starting amounts
01
each consecutive
tax
bracket
is
called a -breakpoint-. Every
tax
table
consislS
of
a particular sequence
01
breakpoints.
In
Ihe Program Exampte Ihat follows,
the
dinerence belween
O(
and and
15(
is
151t.
Therefore 15
is
Ihe,lirS! breakpoint. Likewise,
the
diNerence between
15(
and
38t
is
231t.
Therefore 23
is
the
second breakpoint. The breakpoints progress
in
a particular sequence lhroughoul
the
enlire
tax
lable. This particular sequence
ot
breakpoints is used
to
determine
the
programming code.
The sequence
of
breakpoints
is
divided into -Regufar" and -Irregular" palterns,
All
tax tables repeat a paUem
of
regular breakpoints aller a lower irregular breakpoint pallern.
To
determine the breakpoint patlerns,
if
is
firs I
necessary
to
calculate lhe breakpoints. This
is
easily done
by
using Ihe Worksheet that lollows. Simply
fill
in
Chart
AwHh
the
amounls I
rom
your approved lax lable. Then calculate the breakpoints
as
was previously explained
and
lill
lhem
in
on Chart
B.
Continue
10
calculate Ihe breakpoints unlil you have
IOUl1d
the
"Regular" repeat breakpoint
pattern.
Please reler
to
the
Program Example. Nole Ihe following:
Breakpoints - 15,23,25,25,25,30,36,34,30 - Represenllhe "Irregular" patlern.
Breakpoints
- 29,2B,29,29;28,29,28 - Represenflhe "Regutar" repeat pattern.
As
a
cheCk
to
ensure Ihat the "Regular'" repeat pattern
has
correctly been located. add up
all
Ihe breakpoinlS
of
Ihe
pattem.
In
most cases the resulting number will
be
a multiple
01
a dollar (i.e. $1.00
or
$2.00)
or
must
be
a nurrtler
that will
divide
evenly
into a
dollar
(Le.
10~.25It,50¢).
In
Ihe
Program
Exampte.
Ihe
breakpoints·
29,28,29,29,28,29,28 add up 10200.
Entering Ihe Program Code:
--------------
Once
you
have lilled
in
both Chart A
and
Chart B
and
have delermined Ihe "Irregular" and "Regular" breakpoint
pallerns, you are ready
10
derive
the
necessary program code from this information.
There are seven sleps necessary.
Please reler
to
the
Program Example for additional illustrations
of
Ihe
steps.
