Use the following procedure to calculate tax on an item that is normally not taxable or for a customer who usually does not pay sales tax. An item can be non-taxable because either the customer is not taxable or the item is set up in Inventory Maintenance as not taxable.
To charge tax
In the Item (SKU) box of POS, type the item you want to sell with tax.
In the Quantity box, type T and then type the quantity you are selling.
For example, to charge tax on three items to a customer who is ordinarily non-taxable, type T3.
Press enter to post the item.
Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each item that you want to sell with tax.
After posting an item, a "T” displays in the Codes column.
If non-taxable customers have a Tax Code for non-taxable Sales assigned in the Tax field in Customer Maintenance, Screen 1, that tax code must have the normal tax rate percent to assess tax.
If the item being sold is part of a Tax Plan with a 0% tax rate, do the following to charge tax on the item:
In the Item (SKU) box , type the item you want to sell with tax.
In the Quantity box, type T and then type the quantity you are selling.
Select Menu and choose option 1 "change line item tax," and select a tax code that uses the correct tax rate.
