Perform a Tax shift

For customer that are tax exempt, a tax shift key may be programmed for the first 3 taxes defined in the system. To eliminate one or more of the taxes, press the Tax shift key at any time before the completion of the transaction. This will toggle the appropriate tax either on or off depending on the current state.

The tax shift key must be programmed with one of the following 3 pre-defined fixed functions.

Tax Shift #1          Enables/Disables the charging of Tax #1 defined in tax maintenance.

Tax Shift #2          Enables/Disables the charging of Tax #2 defined in tax maintenance.

Tax Shift #3          Enables/Disables the charging of Tax #3 defined in tax maintenance.

Example 1: To eliminate tax 1 from a transaction, before tendering the transaction, press on a the Tax Shift #1 key.

This will disable the corresponding tax 1 and display a “Tax 1 Disabled” message in the transaction display area. 

A T1 icon at the top of the register display area will also be displayed to indicate that you are in tax shift 1 mode.

Example 2: To re-activate tax 1, before tendering the transaction, press on a the Tax Shift #1 key.

Pressing the same Tax Shift #1 key when the tax has already been disabled, will re-enable the tax and display a “Tax 1 Active” message. The T1 icon will also be removed from the top of the register display area to indicate that you are no longer in tax shift mode.

The last status of each Tax shift will be applied to all items within the current transaction. All taxes will be automatically re-enabled at the start of the next transaction.
