Straight Percentage Tax Rate Programming
Often, tax requirements may be met using a straight percentage rate. Use the following
method to program a tax as a straight percentage.
Important Note: Tax program procedures were updated at software version 1.019. At
this version it is no longer necessary to have multiple tax shift keys on the keyboard
when multiple taxes are used: all tax programming is done through the TAX 1 key.
Please use the appropriate instructions for the version you are programming.
