   Table 6-6 Tax Types

   Type	Description
   0 - Disabled Tax Rate	Select this option if you do not want to use the tax calculation for the tax rate.
   1 - Add On, Breakpoint	Select this option to calculate the add-on tax using the Breakpoint method, and add the tax to the check total. The government imposing the tax provides a breakpoint chart to facilitate programming the breakpoint entry.
   2 - Add On, Percentage	Select this option to calculate the add-on tax using the Flat Percentage Rate, and add the tax to the check total.
   3 - Included, Percentage	Select this option to calculate the inclusive tax using the Flat Percentage Rate to determine what portion of the sales price is the tax. The inclusive tax applies differently depending on the global tax type (European or United States). Because the tax is included in the price, the tax is backed out of gross sales on reports. You cannot back out inclusive tax from a check total using an Exempt Tax function key.
   4 - Florida Surcharge	Select this option to calculate surcharges for menu items in Florida.
