Tax Programming
 
The SAM4s ER-5115 has the capability to support four separate taxes.   
Taxes can be calculated as either a straight percentage rate of between .001% and 99.999%, or a 60 
break point tax table.  Each tax may be either an add-on tax (added to the cost of a taxable item), or a 
value added tax (VAT) that is included in the price of the item.   
Tax rate 4 may be set to function as the Canadian Goods & Services Tax (GST).  If Tax 4 is 
designated as GST, table programming for the rate is not allowed.
 
Definitions for tax rates 1, 2, 3 & 4 are made as part of tax programming. 

If you are entering a tax rate (add-on or VAT), see "Straight Percentage Tax Rate 
Programming" on page 94 to enter the percentage rate.   

If you are entering a tax table, see “Tax Table Programming” on page 95 to enter the tax 
break points.   

If you are entering a Canadian Goods and Services Tax (GST), use tax rate 4 for the 
GST tax, and use tax rates 1, 2 and/or 3 for any other provincial tax or taxes.  See 
"Straight Percentage Tax Rate Programming" on page 94 to enter the GST status and 
percentage rate.   
Important Note:  After you have entered your tax program(s), 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 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, 
contact your SAM4s
 dealer for assistance.
