 Setting the Tax Rates
Setting the Tax Rates
You can program 4 different tax rates on your cash register. Each tax rate 
can be linked directly to a department key (see Programming Tax Status 
on page 37), or by pressing the 
Tax 1 or Tax 2 keys before ringing up an 
entry. 
You can set the cash register to not print the tax rate on receipts. For more 
information, see Programming Flag Options on page 56
You can program each Tax Rate as follows:
• As an ADD-ON RATE (used in the USA) - means the tax amount prints 
separately on the receipt. Add-on Tax is most common in the United 
States. Add-on Tax can be programmed as either a fixed-rate which 
charges tax based on a percentage, or using the tax table codes, which is 
a calculation based on an approved tax chart issued by your local or state 
government.
• Canadian Tax System - allows you to program the GST/PST tax system 
required in Canada. 
• VAT (Value Added Tax) - means that the tax amount is included in the 
price of the item. 
See the Royal website for the tax table codes for your particular state. 
After you have the tax table codes for your state, see Calculating State Tax 
Table Codes on page 114 for he
lp or contact your local state government 
office for the current tax rates.
