Shifting or Exempting Tax
Tax Shift
PLU’s can be programmed to automatically add the appropriate tax or taxes. Occasionally, you may need to sell a
normally taxable item without tax, or a normally non-taxable item with tax. You can perform tax shifting with the
tax shift key.
Note: Display of taxable item indicators is controlled by Tax Option settings in the Options programming.
Shifting Tax from a Taxable Item
1. To exempt tax or change the tax on individual items, select the item you want to shift the tax on and touch
TAX SHIFT.
2. On the TAX selection screen that displays, uncheck the appropriate taxes to remove the tax on the item
selected.
Adding Tax to a Non-Taxable Item
1. To charge a tax on a normally non-tax item, select the item you want to add a tax to and touch the TAX
SHIFT key.
2. On the TAX selection screen that displays, check the appropriate taxes to add the tax on the item selected.
Exempt Tax on an Entire Sale
Occasionally, you may need to exempt tax from an entire sale. For example, you might remove all state and local
taxes when you sell merchandise to a church or charitable institution.
Taxes can be removed from an entire sale by using a pre-programmed TAX EXEMPT key. Press SUBTOTAL
then press TAX EXEMPT to remove all taxes as set on the tax-exempt key.
Food Stamp Shift
Food Stamps may be used to purchase eligible items at stores that participate in the program. The taxes normally
collected may be exempted when purchased with food stamps. Handling of food stamp transactions is done by
sorting food stamp and non-food stamp eligible items within each sale and tracking food stamp payments for
eligible items.
Note: Display of food stamp eligible indicators is controlled by Tax Options settings in the Options programming.
To sell a non-food stamp eligible item with food stamp eligibility, touch the
FD/S SHIFT key before the item entry.
To sell a food stamp eligible item as non-food stamp eligible, touch the FD/S SHIFT key before the item
entry.
