How to Set Up a Tax Table Setting Up Tax Tables
A compressed description of the sample table follows:
• Tax number: 1
• Tax type: 1
• Tax increment: 1 cent
• Smallest taxable amount: $0.10
• Loop 8 times
Increment taxable amount by $0.18 and tax by $0.01 five times
Increment taxable amount by $0.19 and tax by $0.01 one time
Increment taxable amount by $0.18 and tax by $0.01 four times
Increment taxable amount by $0.19 and tax by $0.01 one time
End loop
The sample table is a simple example. In your table, you may have a non-
repeated sequence of increment commands before the first loop. Or, you may
have many loops, or loops within loops. Or, you may have a non-repeated
sequence of increment commands at the end of the table, after all loops are
ended.
Most tax tables should reduce to a compressed description. However, if you
encounter some difficulty, consult your salesman or distributor for help.
2. Allot Storage Space for Your Tax Information
The CFN3 software already has eight records in its storage space for its 1-8 tax
rates, and it must create additional records for the information in your tax
tables.
When you have a compressed table description, count the additional records it
will require. Allow one additional record for each of the following:
• The table beginning.
• Each increment command.
• Each loop command.
• Each end-loop command.
• The end of the table.
After you have prepared a compressed description of all your tax tables,
determine the total number of additional records you will need for all of them.
Then add eight to your total. This gives the total number of records you need
for your tax.
You may use up to 200 records for tax. If your total is larger than 200, consult
your ASR or distributor to help you reduce the commands in your compressed
descriptions.
When you have determined the number of records you need, use the TABLE
program to define the number of records in table number 27, the tax table (refer
to MDE-4316 CFN III Configuration Manual for instructions). Be sure your
total includes the original eight records required by the CFN3 software and all
the additional records required for your tax tables.
