In some cases, a tax that is entered as a percentage does not follow exactly the tax charts that apply 
in your area (even if the tax chart is based on a percentage).  In these cases, we recommend that you 
enter your tax using tax table programming.  This method will match tax collection exactly to the 
break points of your tax table.   

Before programming, obtain a copy of the tax table you wish to program.  You will need the printed 
tax table if you wish to determine the break point entries yourself.   

1.  Refer to the “Tax Table Programming Example - Illinois 6% Tax Table” on page 55 to 

help with this exercise.   

2.  Calculate the break point differences by subtracting the high side of the previous range 

from the high side of the dollar range.  

3.  Examine the pattern of break point differences to determine when the break points 

begin to repeat.  Mark the beginning break points that do not fit a pattern as “non-
repeat breaks.”  Mark the break points that are repeating in a pattern as “repeat breaks.”   

1.  Turn the control lock to the PGM position. 

2.  Enter the number of the tax you are programming (1, 2, or 3, 4), press the TAX SHIFT 

key.   

3.  Enter the maximum amount that is not taxed, press the TAX SHIFT key.   

4.  Enter the first tax amount charged, press the TAX SHIFT key.   

5.  For each non-repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and press 

the TAX SHIFT key. 

6.  Press the CHECK TEND key.  

7.  For each repeat break point, enter the high side from the sale dollar range and press the 

TAX SHIFT key.   

8.  Press the CASH/TEND key to end the tax table program.
