Taxes Programming
The ER-260EJ/ER-265EJ 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.
GST - 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.
