On this page are links to instructions for programming the new 7% sales tax rate that goes into effect in the State of Indiana on April 1st, 2008. Some instruction documents are applicable to many models of cash registers or software applications. All documents are in PDF file format and therefore require that a PDF file viewer program be installed on the computer you wish to view or print these documents on. If you do not have a PDF viewer already installed on your computer, there is a link to a downloadable viewer on this page.
On this page you will find references to many different models of cash registers, point of sale systems, and point of sale software applications. Please be sure that you select the correct one for your needs as different models may have different instructions and using the wrong instructions for your model can produce undesirable results. CRS is not responsible for improper application of the instructions found on these documents.
Many counties in the State of Indiana also have a sales tax on food and beverage sales. This tax rate may be 1% or 2% or other amounts depending on the county your business is located in. This page and its instructions make no attempt to deal with how to program the food and beverage tax rate. If you are in a county with a food and beverage sales tax requirement, please make sure you know how your cash register or point of sale system is currently configured for this. Most cash registers and point of sale systems can be configured with multiple tax tables or rates. You may find that yours has two different rates configured, one for the state sales tax and one for the food and beverage sales tax. If your business deals primarily in food and beverage you may find that your cash register or point of sale system is configured with a single rate that has combined both state sales tax and food and beverage sales tax into one rate. Please make sure you know how your system is configured before applying these instructions. If your system is configured with a combined sales tax method, then these instructions may still work by simply changing the ‘7’ to an ‘8’ or ‘9’ (depending on the assigned food and beverage sales tax rate in your county) in the rate entry line of the instructions.
While CRS has made every reasonable attempt to insure the accuracy and completeness of the information found in these instruction documents, CRS makes no warranty as to their fitness of purpose or the accuracy of the tax calculated after applying these instructions to your system. You, the business owner, are ultimately responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax according to the laws of the State of Indiana. Please make sure that upon completion of these instructions that you thoroughly test the sales tax calculations on your system before putting it in use for actual sales to your customers. There is a link on this page to the actual published sales tax chart on the Indiana Department of Revenue website for you to check against. If you discover mistakes in these instructions or inaccurate tax calculations as a result of these instructions, please report them to the CRS Support Center at 1-800-748-0118.
CRS is happy to offer you this information through our web site and we hope that it results in you being able to successfully update your sales tax program in your system. If you continue to have problems or cannot complete the instructions or have other questions, you may contact our Support Center at 1-800-748-0118 or email us at support@crsgroup.com for further assistance. As you can imagine, given the short notice from the State and the large amount of information that needed to be gathered, we expect unusually large support call volumes during this time. We will attempt to resolve all calls as expeditiously as possible. Customers with maintenance, warranty, and help desk support agreements with us on their systems will be given priority status on their calls. Customers without such agreements on their systems will be responded to as quickly as possible but all such calls will be subject to our standard phone support or on site labor charges.
Thank you for your understanding and the opportunity to serve you.
