  FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the POS terminal 2. As shown in FIG. 8, the computer program executed by the POS terminal 2 according to the present embodiment includes the following units (input unit 301, sales registration unit 302, tax exemption declaration unit 303, determination unit 304, reading unit 305, display unit 305). Module 306, adding means 307, reference amount determining means 308, tax exemption means 309, printing means 310). As the actual hardware, the CPU 31 reads out the computer program from the HDD 26 and executes the computer program, whereby the above-described units are generated on the RAM 33.

  The input unit 301 inputs a product code and a sales quantity. The sales registration unit 302 executes a sales registration process of calculating a registration amount of a product to be sold based on a unit price and a sales quantity obtained by searching the product master file F1 according to the product code input by the input unit 301. I do.

  The tax exemption declaration means 303 declares a tax exemption transaction in accordance with the operation of the tax exemption declaration key K1 and the tax exemption recount key K3. When the tax exemption declaration means 303 has declared a tax exemption transaction, the determination unit 304 determines whether or not the product to be sold is a tax exemption target product by referring to the tax exemption classification in the product master file F1. Specifically, the determination unit 304 determines whether or not the product for which the sales registration process has been performed by the sales registration unit 302 before the tax exemption declaration and the product for which the product code has been input after the declaration are tax exemption eligible products. I do. Further, it is determined whether or not the product included in the transaction history is a tax exemption target product.

  The reading unit 305 reads a predetermined character string from the character string described in the passport by cooperating with the passport reader 27 when the tax exemption declaration unit 303 has declared the tax exemption transaction. Here, the character string to be read is information corresponding to a part or all of items to be described (entry items) defined in laws and regulations concerning the tax exemption system. Such character strings include, for example, a passport number, name, nationality, date of birth, and the like. Specifically, the reading unit 305 detects an item name of a description item from a character string (information) acquired by the passport reader 27 and reads a character string described in association with the item name. When a character string corresponding to the description is described in a passport in a coded (numerical) state, the reading unit 305 decodes the character string from the read code.

  The display unit 306 controls the display 22 to display various information (screen) on the display 22. For example, the display unit 306 displays an operation screen for the sales registration process. When the reading unit 305 reads a predetermined character string from the passport, the display unit 306 displays a confirmation screen for allowing the operator to confirm the character string. In addition, the display unit 306 performs a warning display when the tax exemption target product is classified as dangerous goods.

  When the determining unit 304 determines that the product is a tax exemption target, the adding unit 307 adds the registered amount of the tax exemption target product as the tax exemption target amount. The reference amount determining unit 308 determines whether or not the tax exemption target amount added by the adding unit 307 satisfies a predetermined reference amount. When the reference amount determination unit 308 determines that the reference amount is satisfied, the tax exemption unit 309 performs a tax exemption process of exempting the tax on the tax exemption target amount.

  The printing unit 310 controls the printer 23 to cause the printer 23 to print various information. For example, the printing unit 310 prints a document (receipt) that includes the details of the product related to the sales registration process and describes the transaction number and the like of the transaction. In addition, when the tax exemption processing is performed by the tax exemption means 309, the printing unit 310 includes a description of the product related to the tax exemption processing and includes all or a part of the items to be described in the tax exemption system law. Print the completed document. When the tax exemption unit 309 executes the tax exemption processing, the printing unit 310 receives an operation of the product name list output key K2 and prints a product name list describing the product names of the products subject to name tax and their quantities. Let it.

  The POS terminal 2 according to the present embodiment roughly executes the following processing.

  The POS terminal 2 (input means 301) reads the product code added to each product in a form such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code by the code scanner 25. Then, the POS terminal 2 (sales registration means 302) searches the product master file F1 according to the read product code, reads out product information corresponding to the corresponding product code, and acquires the unit price of the product. Further, the POS terminal 2 (sales registration means 302) executes a sales registration process for calculating the total amount of the purchased products based on the unit price and the number of products sold.

  After that, when the POS terminal 2 (sales registration means 302) ends the sales registration process in response to the operation of the deposit / current key or the like, the POS terminal 2 transmits the transaction contents of the transaction to the store server 4 as a transaction history. Upon receiving the transaction history transmitted from the POS terminal 2, the store server 4 stores the transaction history in the transaction history DB1. Further, when the POS terminal 2 (printing means 310) ends the sales registration process in response to the operation of the deposit / current total key or the like, it executes a printing process for printing the contents of the transaction.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the POS terminal 2 will be described.

[Normal tax exemption processing]
First, an operation when the tax exemption declaration key K1 is operated in the above-described sales registration processing will be described as a normal tax exemption processing.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart schematically showing the flow of the normal tax exemption process. As a premise of this process, it is assumed that the product registration screen G1 of FIG.

  First, the POS terminal 2 (tax exemption declaration means 303) waits for the operation of the tax exemption declaration key K1 during the sales registration processing (step S1; No). Upon receiving the operation of the tax exemption declaration key K1 (Step S1; Yes), the POS terminal 2 (tax exemption declaration means 303) determines that the tax exemption transaction has been declared. Next, the POS terminal 2 (reading unit 305) operates the passport reader 27 and waits until a predetermined character string is read from the passport (Step S2; No). Further, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) switches the display screen of the display 22 from the product registration screen G1 (FIG. 10) to the guide screen G2 (FIG. 11) until a predetermined character string is read from the passport. .

  Here, FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the guide screen G2. As shown in FIG. 11, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) causes the display 22 to display a guide screen G2 for prompting the user to read the passport. The operator of the POS terminal 2 opens a page describing matters related to the tax exemption system on the passport presented by the customer (non-resident), and holds the page over the passport reader 27. In response to this operation, the POS terminal 2 (reading unit 305) reads a predetermined character string from the passport (Step S2; Yes).

  Subsequently, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) switches the display screen of the display 22 to the confirmation screen G3 (FIG. 12) in order to confirm the character string read in step S2 (step S3).

  As shown in FIG. 12, the character string read in step S2 is displayed on the confirmation screen G3 for each item (item). FIG. 12 shows an example in which, among the items described in the passport, character strings of items such as a passport number, a name, a nationality, and a date of birth are read.

  Here, a delete button B1 is provided in association with each item of the confirmation screen G3. Upon receiving the operation of the delete button B1 (step S4; Yes), the POS terminal 2 deletes the character string read for the corresponding item (step S5), and returns to step S3. For example, if there is an error in the character string of any item among the character strings of each item read in step S2, the erroneous character string can be deleted by operating the delete button B1. . The POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) displays a confirmation screen G3 in which the character string of the item deleted in step S5 is empty.

  Further, on the confirmation screen G3, a confirm button B2, a re-read button B3, and a cancel button B4 corresponding to the confirmation accepting unit of the present embodiment are displayed. When the POS terminal 2 receives the operation of the re-read button B3 (Step S4; No → Step S6; Yes), the POS terminal 2 returns to Step S2 to read the character string from the passport again. Note that the character string read last time is to be deleted by operating the re-read button B3.

  When the POS terminal 2 receives the operation of the cancel button B4 (Step S4; No → Step S6; No → Step S7; Yes), the POS terminal 2 deletes all the read character strings (Step S8), and proceeds to the sales registration processing. Return. Note that, with the operation of the cancel button B4, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) returns the display screen of the display unit 22 from the confirmation screen G3 to the product registration screen G1.

  When the POS terminal 2 receives the operation of the confirm button B2 (Step S4; No → Step S6; No → Step S7; No → Step S9; Yes), the POS terminal 2 proceeds to Step S10 while holding the read character string. Transition. The POS terminal 2 waits until one of the buttons is operated on the confirmation screen G3 (Step S4; No → Step S6; No → Step S7; No → Step S9; No).

  In step S10, the POS terminal 2 switches the display screen of the display 22 to the product registration screen G4 (FIG. 13) (step S10), and executes a tax exemption process (step S11).

  As shown in FIG. 13, a tax exemption indicator I is displayed on the product registration screen G4 after the display of the confirmation screen G3 (tax exemption declaration). The POS terminal 2 notifies the operator that the transaction is a tax exemption declaration transaction by displaying the tax exemption indicator I on the product registration screen G4 in this manner. Note that the registered products displayed on the product registration screen G4 after the selection of nationality (after the tax exemption declaration) remain as they were before the tax exemption declaration.

  Here, the tax exemption processing of step S11 will be described.

  First, the POS terminal 2 (judgment means 304) judges a tax-exempt product to be tax-exempt by referring to the tax-exempt classification code in the product master file F1 for a registered product that has already been registered. If there is a tax exemption target product, the POS terminal 2 (addition means 307) adds the tax exemption target amount to the tax exemption target amount table T for each registered product group (general goods group / consumables group) to be tax exempt. Do.

  The correspondence of tax exemption target products by tax type is performed as follows.

When the registered product to be exempted is tax-inclusive, the POS terminal 2 adds the tax-excluded amount of the registered amount to the tax exemption amount table T as the tax exemption amount. More specifically, the POS terminal 2 sets the difference between the registered amount before tax exemption and the registered amount after tax exemption as the tax exemption amount for tax-inclusive items.
・ Unit price before tax exemption 1080 yen-Unit price after tax exemption 1000 yen → Tax exemption amount 80 yen

  If the registered product to be tax exempt is a foreign tax, the POS terminal 2 adds the registered amount to the tax exemption amount table T as the tax exemption amount. More specifically, in the case of a foreign tax product, the POS terminal 2 sets the tax exemption amount to the registered tax amount.

  If the registered product to be exempted is exempt from tax, the POS terminal 2 does not add the registered amount to the exempted tax amount table T as the exempted amount.

  Next, the POS terminal 2 (the reference amount determination unit 308) determines whether the tax exemption amount in the tax exemption amount table T satisfies the set value (the reference amount) in the tax exemption set value file F3. In the tax exemption set value file F3 of the present embodiment, set values for food, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, and other consumables are 5,000 to 500,000 yen. The set value for general articles (articles other than consumables that are used for normal living) is an amount exceeding 10,000 yen.

  If the POS terminal 2 determines that the tax exemption amount for the consumables satisfies the set value (5,000 to 500,000 yen), the POS terminal 2 performs a tax exemption process for exempting the tax on the tax exemption amount. Further, the POS terminal 2 (the tax exemption means 309) has determined that the tax exemption target amount for the general articles (articles other than consumables for daily life) satisfies the set value (the amount exceeding 10,000 yen). In this case, tax exemption processing is performed to exempt the tax on the tax exemption amount.

  Note that the POS terminal 2 displays an error on the display 22 when the tax exemption amount of the consumable in the tax exemption amount table T exceeds the upper limit of the set value (500,000 yen).

  Here, FIGS. 14 and 15 are diagrams showing examples of the error screen. As shown in FIG. 14, at the time of tax exemption declaration by operating the tax exemption declaration key K1, the POS terminal 2 displays the error screen G5 as "exceeding the tax exemption upper limit. Please cancel the product. XX, XXX circle ". In addition, as shown in FIG. 15, in the sales registration process after the tax exemption declaration by operating the tax exemption declaration key K1, the POS terminal 2 displays the error screen G6 as "The tax exemption upper limit has been exceeded. Cannot be registered.Over price XX, XXX yen "is displayed. The POS terminal 2 erases the error screen when the clear key of the keyboard 21 is operated.

  After the execution of the tax exemption process (step S11), the POS terminal 2 redisplays the product registration screen (step S12). Here, FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the product registration screen G7 after redisplay. As shown in FIG. 16, the commodity registration screen G7 after redisplay sets the tax amount to “0 yen” due to the exemption of the tax by the tax exemption processing. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, in the commodity registration screen G7 after redisplay, the total display amount is the amount after the tax exemption processing. Further, the commodity registration screen G7 after the redisplay displays the character "exempt" on the tax-exempted commodities, that is, the commodities subjected to the tax exemption processing.

  In addition, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) pops up a warning screen on the display 22 when the tax exemption target product includes a dangerous goods category with reference to the product master file F1 (step S13; Yes). It is displayed (step S14). Here, FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the warning screen G8. As shown in FIG. 17, the POS terminal 2 displays, for example, "sprays are prohibited from being brought into an aircraft" as the warning screen G8. The POS terminal 2 deletes the warning screen G8 when the clear key of the keyboard 21 is operated.

  When the tax exemption declaration key K1 of the keyboard 21 is operated during the sales registration process as described above, the processes subsequent to the tax exemption process of step S11 are also performed on the registered products that have been registered for sale in the subsequent sales registration process. You.

  Thereafter, when the POS terminal 2 receives the operation of the deposit / current total key in the sales registration process, the POS terminal 2 generates sales data indicating the details of the transaction, transmits the generated data to the store server 4, and stores the data in the transaction history DB1 as the transaction history. The POS terminal 2 (printing unit 310) executes a printing process. When the tax exemption processing is executed in the sales registration processing, the POS terminal 2 sets the value of the transaction history flag to be transmitted to “1” indicating that the tax exemption processing has been completed. When the tax exemption processing is not executed in the sales registration processing, the POS terminal 2 sets the value of the flag of the transaction history (sales data) to “0” indicating that the tax exemption processing is not executed.

  In the printing process according to the present embodiment, in the case of a transaction in which tax exemption processing has been performed, for example, one sheet of purchase pledge, two sheets of purchase record slip, and one sheet of receipt are printed. The POS terminal 2 also executes journal printing.

  First, the purchase pledge will be described. Here, FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of the purchase agreement R1. The purchase pledge R1 is a document stating the fact of purchase of duty-free goods. The purchase pledge R1 is attached to a business that runs a duty-free shop and attached to documents (purchase pledge) as a store copy and submitted.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the purchase pledge R1 is composed of the name or name a of the company that operates the duty-free shop, the jurisdiction tax signature b, the location of the duty-free shop c, the transaction date d, the transaction number e, and the cash register number. f, the description of the product (product name g, quantity and price h for each product name), total amount i of all products, total amount j of general products and consumables, and tax exemption amount k.

The purchase agreement R1 has a column for printing a character string of each item confirmed on the confirmation screen G3. Specifically, a character string confirmed on the confirmation screen G3 for the following items is printed on the purchase agreement R1.
・ Passport number ... l
・ Purchaser's nationality… m
・ Purchaser name… n
・ The date of birth of the buyer ... o

  For items (character strings) deleted by the operation of the delete button B1 on the confirmation screen G3, only the item names are printed and directly entered on the documents (purchase agreement). The layout of the purchase agreement R1 is not limited to the example of FIG. For example, it may be printed that it is pledged to export after purchase (in the case of consumables, it is pledged to export it within 30 days from the date of purchase) or a signature field of the purchaser.

  Next, the purchase record slip will be described. Here, FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the purchase record slip R2. The purchase record slip R2 is a document that describes the fact that a duty-free article has been purchased. The purchase record slip R2 shown in FIG. 19 is printed on two sheets for attachment to a document (purchase record slip) and for store copy. The attached purchase record slip R2 is attached to a document (purchase record slip). This document (purchase record slip) is attached and stamped on the passport.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the purchase record slip R2 is composed of the name or name a of the company that operates the duty-free shop, the jurisdiction's tax signature b, the location of the duty-free shop c, the transaction date d, the transaction number e, and the cash register number. f, the description of the product (product name g, quantity and price h for each product name), total amount i of all products, total amount j of general products and consumables, and tax exemption amount k.

The purchase record slip R2 has a column for printing a character string of each item confirmed on the confirmation screen G3. Specifically, a character string confirmed on the confirmation screen G3 for the following items is printed on the purchase record slip R2.
・ Passport number ... l
・ Purchaser's nationality… m
・ Purchaser name… n
・ The date of birth of the buyer ... o

  As for the item (character string) deleted by the operation of the delete button B1 on the confirmation screen G3, only the item name is printed and written directly on the document (purchase record slip) similarly to the purchase agreement R1. And The layout of the purchase record slip R2 is not limited to the example of FIG.

  Next, the receipt will be described. Here, FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of the receipt R3. The receipt R3 is given to the purchaser after the transaction.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the receipt R3 includes the name or name a of the company that operates the duty-free shop, the transaction date d, the transaction number e, the cash register number f, the details of the product (product name g, the quantity for each product name, Price h), including the total amount i of all the articles. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, in the case of a tax exemption target product, "exemption" p is printed as tax printing. Further, as shown in FIG. 20, in the case of the tax exemption transaction, a tax exemption message “tax exemption transaction has been performed” q is printed on the receipt R3.

  Note that the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment executes journal printing corresponding to the purchase record slip R2 and the receipt R3. At this time, the POS terminal 2 prints a character string of all or a part of the items confirmed on the confirmation screen G3 on the journal corresponding to the receipt R3.

  As described above, the POS terminal 2 reads a predetermined character string from the passport using the passport reader 27, and displays the read character string on the confirmation screen G3 so that the operator can confirm the character string. Then, after confirmation by the operator, the POS terminal 2 prints the character string displayed on the confirmation screen G3 on a document such as a purchase agreement. As a result, according to the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, complicated procedures such as filling in a purchaser's pledge and a purchase record slip for each product purchase become unnecessary, and the tax exemption procedure can be performed efficiently. it can.

  The POS terminal 2 automatically performs the tax exemption processing when the tax exemption unit (consumables and general goods) exceeds the tax exemption reference amount (consumables: 5000 yen, general goods: 10000 yen). As a result, according to the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, the tax exemption registration operation at the operator's discretion becomes unnecessary, and the sales registration process of the product corresponding to the revision of the tax exemption system can be executed.

  When the POS terminal 2 (printing unit 310) receives the operation of the product name list output key K2, the POS terminal 2 (printing unit 310) executes a printing process (list printing process) for outputting a product name list of products subject to tax exemption. Here, the timing of receiving the operation of the product name list output key K2 is not particularly limited. For example, when the operation of the item name list output key K2 is received during the sales registration process, the POS terminal 2 (printing unit 310) executes the list printing process together with the above-described printing process. If the operation of the product name list output key K2 is received outside the sales registration processing, the POS terminal 2 (printing means 310) inputs the transaction number of the transaction to be printed in the list, Execute the printing process.

  In the list printing process according to the present embodiment, one item name list is printed. Here, FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of the product name list R4. The product name list R4 is a document listing products that have been subjected to tax exemption processing. The product name list R4 is attached to a bag or a box for packaging the product subjected to the tax exemption processing.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the product name list R4 includes the name or name a of the company that operates the duty-free shop, the product name g of the product subjected to the tax exemption processing, the quantity for each product name, and the price h. It should be noted that only the consumables among the products subjected to the tax exemption processing may be printed on the product name list R4. In this case, whether or not the product is a consumable item is determined based on the tax exemption classification code in the product master file F1 and the tax exemption classification file F2. When the POS terminal 2 includes a label printer separately, the POS terminal 2 (printing unit 310) may print the item name list R4 using the label printer.

  As described above, according to the operation of the product name list output key K2, the POS terminal 2 can output the product name list of the products subject to tax exemption. As a result, according to the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, the product name list can be easily issued when it is specified by law that the product name is indicated on the packaging of the tax-exempted product. Tax exemption procedures can be performed efficiently.

[Tax exemption recounting process]
Next, an operation when the tax exemption recount key K3 is operated will be described as a tax exemption recounting process.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart schematically showing the flow of the tax exemption recounting process. First, the POS terminal 2 (tax exemption declaration means 303) waits for the operation of the tax exemption recount key K3 when the sales registration process is not executed (Step S21; No). Upon receiving the operation of the tax exemption recount key K3 (step S21; Yes), the POS terminal 2 (tax exemption declaration means 303) determines that a tax exemption transaction has been declared. Next, the POS terminal 2 reads the character string corresponding to the description from the passport by performing the processing of steps S22 to S29. The processing in steps S22 to S29 is the same as the processing in steps S2 to S9 described above, and a description thereof will be omitted. When the cancel button B4 is operated on the confirmation screen G3 (step S27; Yes), the POS terminal 2 deletes all the character strings read from the passport (step S28), and ends this processing.

  In the following step S30, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) displays the tax exemption recount screen G9 on the display 22 (step S30).

  Here, FIGS. 23 and 24 are diagrams showing an example of the tax exemption recounting screen. As shown in FIG. 23, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) causes the display 22 to display a tax exemption recount screen G9 including a message prompting the user to specify a transaction to be processed.

  The POS terminal 2 waits until a transaction (transaction number) to be processed is specified in the background of the tax exemption recount screen G9 (Step S31; No → Step S35; No). Here, the method of designating the transaction is not particularly limited. For example, the POS terminal 2 may be configured to receive a transaction specification by reading a transaction number from the receipt R3 or the like via the code scanner 25 or the passport reader 27 or the like. Further, the POS terminal 2 may be configured to accept a transaction specification based on the transaction number input via the keyboard 21.

  Upon receiving the designation of the transaction number (Step S31; Yes), the POS terminal 2 reads the transaction history corresponding to the transaction number from the transaction history DB1 of the store server 4 (Step S32). Next, the POS terminal 2 determines whether or not a condition for applying tax exemption is satisfied based on the transaction history read from the transaction history DB1 (Step S33).

  In the condition determination of step S33, for example, the determination is performed for each of the following conditions. The first condition is that the flag of the transaction history read from the transaction history DB1 is “0”. The second condition is that the transaction history includes a tax-exempt product. The third condition is that the transaction date is the same as the transaction date in the transaction history read earlier. The fourth condition is that the total amount of tax-exempt items included in all designated transactions (tax-exempt amount) satisfies the set value of the tax-exempt set value file F3.

  Subsequently, based on the transaction history read in step S32, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) redisplays the tax exemption recount screen to which the details of the transaction history are added (step S34). For example, when the transaction history of the transaction number “0422” is read, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) additionally displays the transaction content in the area A1 of the tax exemption recount screen G9 shown in FIG. In addition, every time a new transaction history is read, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) displays the transaction details in the area A1. As a result, as shown in FIG. 24, a tax exemption recount screen G10 in which the transaction history is displayed in a list is displayed in the area A1. In the area A1, a transaction date and time (date and time), a cash register number, a transaction number, and a tax exemption amount (transaction amount) are displayed as transaction contents.

  Further, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) displays a message or the like indicating that the transaction history determined to not satisfy the condition in the condition determination in step S33. For example, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) displays a message indicating that the transaction history that does not satisfy the first condition is tax exempt, and does not display the transaction contents. In addition, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) displays a message indicating that the transaction history that does not satisfy the second condition is exempt from tax exemption, and does not display the transaction details. Further, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) displays a message indicating that the transaction history that does not satisfy the third condition is different from the transaction date of the other transaction history, or highlights the transaction history by color coding or the like. In addition, the POS terminal 2 (display unit 306) displays a message indicating that the tax exemption amount is outside the range of the set value, and highlights the transaction history that does not satisfy the fourth condition by color coding or the like. .

  It is assumed that the transaction displayed on the tax exemption recount screen can be excluded (deleted) from the processing target by operating the keyboard 21 or the touch panel. In addition, by selecting a transaction displayed on the tax exemption recounting screen, a configuration may be adopted in which a list of tax-exempt products included in the transaction is displayed.

  Subsequently, the POS terminal 2 determines whether to end the designation of the transaction (Step S35). Here, when a new transaction number is designated (Step S35; No → Step S31; Yes), the POS terminal 2 proceeds to Step S32. Further, when the POS terminal 2 receives an operation for instructing confirmation from the keyboard or the like, the POS terminal 2 ends the designation of the transaction (Step S35; Yes), and proceeds to Step S36.

  In step S36, the POS terminal 2 performs a tax exemption process on the tax exemption target product of each transaction displayed on the tax exemption recount screen (step S36). The amount of tax exemption by this tax exemption processing will be refunded to the applicable customer (non-resident).

  Note that the tax exemption processing in step S36 is the same as the tax exemption processing in step S11 described above, and a description thereof will not be repeated. Further, the tax exemption processing in step S36 may be configured to be suppressed from being executed until all the conditions in step S33 are satisfied. Further, the POS terminal 2 may be configured to perform the processing of steps S13 and S14 described above after the tax exemption processing of step S36.

  Thereafter, the POS terminal 2 generates sales data indicating the details of the transaction of this processing, and transmits the generated data to the store server 4 to store the data in the transaction history DB1 as the transaction history. The POS terminal 2 sets the value of the flag of the transaction history to be transmitted to “1” indicating that the tax exemption processing has been completed. Further, the POS terminal 2 sets the value of the flag of the transaction history of the transaction subject to tax exemption in this process to “1” indicating that the tax exemption process has been completed. The POS terminal 2 (printing unit 310) executes a printing process.

  In the printing process after the tax exemption recounting process, for example, one copy of the above-mentioned purchase pledge, two purchase record slips, one receipt, and one refund receipt are printed. The POS terminal 2 also executes journal printing.

  Here, the refund receipt will be described. FIG. 25 is a diagram illustrating an example of the refund receipt R5. The refund receipt R5 is a document that describes the transaction subject to the tax exemption aggregation process and the refunded amount (tax exemption amount). The refund receipt R5 is given to a customer who is a non-resident.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the refund receipt R5 includes the name or name a of the company that operates the duty-free shop, the transaction date d on which the tax-exempt recount process was performed, the transaction number e, and the cash register number f. The refund receipt R5 includes a transaction number r, a cash register number s, and a refund amount t of each transaction subjected to the tax exemption recounting process. In addition, as shown in FIG. 25, a message “tax exemption recounting has been performed” u indicating that tax exemption recounting has been performed is printed on the refund receipt R5.

  As described above, according to the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, for one or more transactions specified as a processing target, the tax exemption processing of the tax exemption target products included in the transaction can be performed at a time, so that the tax exemption is performed. Such a procedure can be performed efficiently.

  Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These new embodiments can be implemented in other various forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are also included in the invention described in the claims and their equivalents.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the information held by the passport is read as a character string by using the optical character recognition function of the passport reader 27, but the reading method is not limited to this. Specifically, when a storage medium such as an IC tag is embedded in the passport, an RFID reader may be used as the passport reader 27 to read information corresponding to the description items from the storage medium.
