  FIG. 8 is a functional block diagram showing 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 respective units (input unit 301, sales registration unit 302, tax exemption declaration unit 303, determination unit 304, reading unit 305, display) described later. It has a module configuration including means 306, addition means 307, reference amount determination means 308, tax exemption means 309, printing means 310). As actual hardware, when the CPU 31 reads out a computer program from the HDD 26 and executes it, 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 sales registration processing for calculating the registration amount of the product to be sold based on the unit price and the sales volume obtained by searching the product master file F1 according to the product code input by the input unit 301. Do.

  The tax exemption declaration means 303 declares the tax exemption transaction according to the operation of the tax exemption declaration key K1 and the tax exemption recount key K3. When there is a declaration of duty-free transaction by the tax exemption declaring means 303, the judging means 304 judges whether or not the commodity to be sold is a tax-free object by referring to the tax exemption classification of the commodity 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 merchandise code has been input after the declaration are tax exempt. Do. Further, it is determined whether the product included in the transaction history is a tax-free product.

  The reading means 305 reads a predetermined character string from the character string described in the passport in cooperation with the passport reader 27 when there is a declaration of a tax-free transaction by the tax-exempt declaration means 303. Here, the character string to be read is information corresponding to part or all of the items to be described (description items) defined in the laws and regulations pertaining to the tax exemption system. As such a character string, for example, a passport number, name, nationality, date of birth, etc. may be mentioned. Specifically, the reading unit 305 detects the item name of the description item from the character string (information) acquired by the passport reader 27, and reads the character string described in association with the item name. When the character string corresponding to the description item is described in the passport in a coded (quantified) state, the reading unit 305 decodes the character string from the read code.

  The display means 306 controls the display 22 to display various information (screens) on the display 22. For example, the display unit 306 displays an operation screen related to the sales registration process. Further, when the reading unit 305 reads a predetermined character string from the passport, the display unit 306 displays a confirmation screen for causing the operator to confirm the character string. Further, the display means 306 displays a warning when the tax-free target product is a product of the dangerous goods classification.

  The adding means 307 adds the registered amount of the tax exempt object product as the tax exempt object amount when it is determined by the determining means 304 that the item is a tax exempt object product. The reference amount determination unit 308 determines whether the tax exempt target amount added by the addition unit 307 satisfies a predetermined reference amount. When it is determined by the standard amount determination unit 308 that the standard amount is satisfied, the tax exemption unit 309 performs tax exemption processing to exempt the tax on the taxable amount.

  The printing unit 310 causes the printer 23 to print various types of information by controlling the printer 23. For example, the printing unit 310 prints a document (receipt) in which the transaction number and the like of the transaction are described, including a description of the product for which the sales registration process is performed. In addition, when the printing means 310 executes the tax exemption processing by the tax exemption means 309, it includes the details of the goods concerning the tax exemption processing, and all or a part of the matters to be described stipulated in the laws and regulations concerning the tax exemption system Print out the completed documents. Further, when the printing means 310 receives the operation of the item name list output key K2 at the time of executing the tax exemption process by the tax exemption means 309, it prints the item name list describing the item name and the quantity of the item subject to the name tax. Let

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

  The POS terminal 2 (input unit 301) reads the product code added to each product in the form of a bar code, a two-dimensional code, or the like 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 the 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 goods based on the unit price and the number of goods sold for the goods to be purchased.

  After that, when the POS terminal 2 (sales registration means 302) ends the sale registration processing according to the operation of the deposit / total amount key etc, it transmits the contents of the transaction in the transaction to the store server 4 as the transaction history. When the store server 4 receives the transaction history transmitted from the POS terminal 2, the store server 4 stores the transaction history in the transaction history DB 1. Further, when the POS terminal 2 (printing means 310) ends the sales registration process in response to the operation of the deposit / total key, etc., the POS terminal 2 executes a printing process for printing the contents of the transaction in the transaction.

  The operation of the POS terminal 2 will be described below.

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

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart schematically showing the flow of the normal tax-free process. In addition, it is assumed that the goods registration screen G1 of FIG. 10 concerning the sales registration process is displayed on the display 22 as a premise of this process.

  First, the POS terminal 2 (tax exemption declaration means 303) waits for the operation of the tax exemption declaration key K1 in the sales registration process (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 there is a declaration of tax exemption transaction. Next, the POS terminal 2 (reading means 305) operates the passport reader 27 and stands by 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 commodity registration screen G1 (FIG. 10) to the guide screen G2 (FIG. 11) until the predetermined character string is read from the passport. .

  Here, FIG. 11 is a view showing an example of the guide screen G2. As shown in FIG. 11, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) causes the display 22 to display a guide screen G2 prompting reading of a passport. The operator of the POS terminal 2 opens a page in which matters concerning the tax exemption system are described in a passport presented by a customer (non-resident), and sends the page to the passport reader 27. In response to this operation, the POS terminal 2 (reading means 305) reads a predetermined character string from the passport (step S2; Yes).

  Subsequently, the POS terminal 2 (display means 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, on the confirmation screen G3, the character string read in step S2 is displayed for each item (item). FIG. 12 shows an example of reading the character string of the passport number, the name, the nationality, and the date of birth among the items described in the passport.

  Here, a delete button B1 is provided in association with each item of the confirmation screen G3. When the POS terminal 2 receives 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, when there is an error in the character string of any item among the character strings of each item read in step S2, the character string with an error can be deleted by operating the delete button B1. . The POS terminal 2 (display means 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 confirmation button B2, a reread button B3 and a cancel button B4 corresponding to the confirmation receiving means of the present embodiment are displayed. When the POS terminal 2 receives an operation of the re-reading button B3 (step S4; No → step S6; Yes), the processing is returned to step S2 to read the character string from the passport again. It is assumed that the character string read last time is deleted in response to the operation of the re-reading button B3.

  Further, when the POS terminal 2 receives the operation of the cancel button B4 (step S4; No → step S6; No → step S7; Yes), the read character string is all deleted (step S8), and the sales registration process is performed. Return. In addition, it is assumed that the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) returns the display screen of the display 22 from the confirmation screen G3 to the product registration screen G1 in response to the operation of the cancel button B4.

  When the POS terminal 2 receives the operation of the confirmation button B2 (step S4; No → step S6; No → step S7; No → step S9; Yes), the read character string is held in step S10. Transition. The POS terminal 2 is on standby until any button 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 tax exemption processing (step S11).

  As shown in FIG. 13, a tax exemption indicator I is displayed on the product registration screen G4 after the confirmation screen G3 is displayed (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 commodity registration screen G4 as described above. The registered product displayed on the product registration screen G4 after the nationality selection (after the tax exemption declaration) remains as it was before the tax exemption declaration.

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

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

  The correspondence according to the tax type of the tax exempt product is as follows.

When the registered product to be exempted from tax exemption is the internal tax, the POS terminal 2 adds the tax-excluded amount of the registered amount to the tax exempt object amount table T as the exempted amount. More specifically, in the case of a tax-included product, the POS terminal 2 sets the difference between the pre-tax exemption registration amount and the post-tax exemption registration amount as the tax exemption amount.
・ Price before tax exemption 1080 yen-Price after tax exemption 1000 yen → amount of tax exemption 80 yen

  If the registered product subject to tax exemption is an external tax, the POS terminal 2 adds the registered amount to the tax exempt object amount table T as a tax exempt object amount. More specifically, in the case of a non-tax product, the POS terminal 2 sets the external tax amount to the registered amount as the tax exemption amount.

  When the registered product subject to tax exemption is exempt from tax, the POS terminal 2 does not add the registered amount to the tax exempt object amount table T as the tax exempt object amount.

  Next, the POS terminal 2 (standard amount determination means 308) determines whether the tax exempt target amount of the tax exempt target amount table T satisfies the set value (standard amount) of the tax exemption set value file F3. In the tax exemption set value file F3 of the present embodiment, set values for foodstuffs, beverages, medicines, cosmetics, and other consumables are 5,000 yen to 500,000 yen. In addition, the setting value for a general item (an item to be provided for normal life other than consumables) is an amount exceeding 10,000 yen.

  If the POS terminal 2 determines that the tax-exempt target amount for the consumable item satisfies the set value (5,000 yen to 500,000 yen), the POS terminal 2 performs a tax-exempt process that exempts the tax on the tax-exempt target amount. In addition, the POS terminal 2 (tax-exempt means 309) determined that the tax-free amount for general goods (goods for ordinary life other than expendables) satisfies the set value (an amount exceeding 10,000 yen) In the case of tax exemption, the tax exemption is applied to exempt the tax on the amount.

  The POS terminal 2 displays an error message on the display 22 when the tax exempt object amount for the consumable item of the tax exempt object amount table T exceeds the upper limit (500,000 yen) of the set value.

  Here, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are diagrams showing an example of the error screen. As shown in FIG. 14, at the time of the tax exemption declaration by the operation of the tax exemption declaration key K1, the POS terminal 2 sets the error screen G5 as “The tax exemption upper limit has been exceeded. Please cancel the product. "XX, XXX yen" is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in the sales registration processing after the tax exemption declaration by the operation of the tax exemption declaration key K1, the POS terminal 2 displays an error screen G6 “The tax exemption upper limit has been exceeded. It can not be registered. It is displayed as over amount of money XX, XXX yen. The POS terminal 2 erases the error screen when the clear key of the keyboard 21 is operated.

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

  In addition, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) pops up a warning screen on the display 22 when there is a commodity of the dangerous goods category in the tax-free object with reference to the commodity master file F1 (step S13; Yes). It displays (step S14). Here, FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an example of the warning screen G8. As shown in FIG. 17, the POS terminal 2 displays, for example, as “the sprays are prohibited from being brought into the aircraft” as a warning screen G8. The POS terminal 2 erases the warning screen G8 when the clear key of the keyboard 21 is operated.

  As described above, when the tax exemption declaration key K1 of the keyboard 21 is operated in the sales registration process, the process after the tax exemption process in step S11 is executed also for the registered commodity registered in the sales registration process thereafter. Ru.

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

  In the printing process of the present embodiment, in the case of a transaction subjected to tax-free processing, for example, one purchase written oath, two purchase record votes, and one receipt are printed. The POS terminal 2 also executes journal printing.

  First, explain the purchase written oath. Here, FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the purchase written oath R1. The purchase written oath R1 is a document that describes the fact of purchase of duty-free goods. The purchase written oath R1 is attached to a document (purchaser written oath) as a store refusal and is submitted to the company operating the duty free shop.

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

The purchase written oath R1 has a field for printing the character string of each item confirmed on the confirmation screen G3. Specifically, in the purchase written oath R1, the character string confirmed on the confirmation screen G3 for the following items is printed.
・ Passport number ... l
・ Nationality of the buyer ... m
・ Buyer's name ... n
・ Buyer's date of birth ... o

  In addition, about the item (character string) deleted by operation of deletion button B1 on the confirmation screen G3, only the item name shall be printed and it shall be directly filled in on a document (purchase written oath). Further, the layout of the purchase written oath R1 is not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, it may be printed that it purports to export after purchase (in the case of consumables, it purports to export within 30 days from the date of purchase), the purchaser's signature column, etc.

  Next, the purchase record slip will be described. Here, FIG. 19 is a view showing an example of the purchase record slip R2. The purchase record slip R2 is a document describing the fact of purchase of duty-free goods. The purchase record slip R2 shown in FIG. 19 is printed as two sheets for attachment to a document (purchase record slip) and for store refusal. The purchase record slip R2 for attachment is attached to the document (purchase record slip). This document (purchase record slip) is attached to the passport and is stamped.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the purchase record slip R2 is the name or name a of the company operating the duty-free shop, jurisdiction tax signature b, store location c of the tax-free shop, transaction date d, transaction number e, cash register number f, item description of item (item name g, quantity per item name and price h), total amount i of all articles, total amount j of general goods and consumables, and tax exemption amount k.

The purchase record slip R2 has a field for printing the character string of each item confirmed on the confirmation screen G3. Specifically, in the purchase record slip R2, the character string confirmed on the confirmation screen G3 for the following items is printed.
・ Passport number ... l
・ Nationality of the buyer ... m
・ Buyer's name ... n
・ Buyer's date of birth ... 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) as in the purchase written oath R1. I assume. Further, 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 view showing an example of the receipt R3. The receipt R3 is passed to the buyer after the transaction.

  As shown in FIG. 20, receipt R3 is the name or name a of the business owner who operates the duty-free shop, transaction date d, transaction number e, register number f, specification of goods (item name g, quantity per item name, and Including the price h), the total amount i of all items. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, in the case of a tax-exempt target product, “excluded” p is printed as tax printing. Further, as shown in FIG. 20, in the case of the duty-free transaction, a tax-free message “tax-free transaction has been performed.” Q is printed on the receipt R3.

  The POS terminal 2 of this 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 part of the items confirmed on the confirmation screen G3 on the journal corresponding to the receipt R3.

  Thus, 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 in order to make the operator confirm it. 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 written oath. As a result, according to the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, complicated procedures such as the entry into the purchaser's pledge for each product purchase and the purchase record slip are not necessary. it can.

  In addition, the POS terminal 2 automatically performs tax exemption processing if the tax exemption division unit (consumables and general goods) exceeds the tax exemption standard amount (consumables: 5000 yen, general goods: 10000 yen). As a result, according to the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, it is possible to eliminate the duty-free registration operation at the operator's judgment and to execute the sales registration process of the product corresponding to the revision of the tax-free system.

  Further, when the POS terminal 2 (printing unit 310) receives the operation of the item name list output key K2, the POS terminal 2 (printing means 310) executes a printing process (list printing process) for outputting the item name list of the product targeted for tax exemption. Here, the timing of accepting the operation of the item name list output key K2 is not particularly limited. For example, when an operation of the item name list output key K2 is received during the sales registration process, the POS terminal 2 (printing means 310) executes the list printing process together with the above-described printing process. If the POS terminal 2 (printing means 310) receives an operation of the item name list output key K2 outside the sales registration process, the POS terminal 2 (not the transaction process number etc.) of the transaction to be subjected to the list printing process Execute print processing.

  In the list printing process of the present embodiment, one item name list is printed. Here, FIG. 21 is a diagram showing an example of the item name list R4. The item name list R4 is a document in which items for which tax exemption processing has been performed are listed. The item name list R4 is attached to a bag or a box for packaging the item subject to tax exemption processing.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the item name list R4 includes the name or name a of the company operating the duty-free shop, the item name g of the item for which the tax-exempt process is performed, the quantity per item name and the price h. Of the items for which tax exemption processing has been made, only consumables may be printed on the item name list R4. In this case, it is assumed that whether or not the product is a consumable item is determined based on the tax exemption classification code of the commodity master file F1 or the tax exemption classification file F2. When the POS terminal 2 additionally includes a label printer, the POS terminal 2 (printing unit 310) may print the item name list R4 using the label printer.

  Thus, according to the operation of the item name list output key K2, the POS terminal 2 can output the item name list of the item for which tax exemption has been made. As a result, according to the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, the item name list can be easily issued when it is defined by a law that the item name is specified in the package of the item subject to tax exemption. It is possible to efficiently carry out tax-free procedures.

[Tax-free recounting process]
Next, the operation when the tax exemption recounting key K3 is operated will be described as tax exemption recounting processing.

  FIG. 22 is a flow chart schematically showing the flow of tax exemption recounting processing. First, the POS terminal 2 (tax exemption declaration means 303) waits for the operation of the tax reclassification key K3 at the time of non-execution of the sales registration process (step S21; No). When the POS terminal 2 (tax exemption declaration means 303) receives the operation of the tax exemption recounting key K3 (step S21; Yes), it determines that a tax exemption transaction has been declared. Next, the POS terminal 2 reads the character string corresponding to the entry from the passport by performing the processing of steps S22 to S29. The processes of steps S22 to S29 are the same as the processes of steps S2 to S9 described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted. If 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 the present process.

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

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

  The POS terminal 2 stands by until the transaction (transaction number) to be processed is designated in the background of the tax exemption recounting 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 receive a designation of a transaction by reading the 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 receive the specification of the transaction based on the transaction number input through the keyboard 21.

  When the POS terminal 2 receives specification of the transaction number (Step S31; Yes), the POS terminal 2 reads the transaction history corresponding to the transaction number from the transaction history DB 1 of the store server 4 (Step S32). Next, the POS terminal 2 determines whether or not the condition for applying the tax exemption is satisfied based on the transaction history read from the transaction history DB 1 (step S33).

  In the condition determination of step S33, for example, determination is performed for each condition shown below. The first condition is that the flag of the transaction history read out from the transaction history DB 1 is “0”. The second condition is that the transaction history includes a tax exempt product. The third condition is that it is the same transaction date as the transaction date of the transaction history read out earlier. A fourth condition is that the total amount of tax-free items (tax-free amount) included in all designated transactions satisfies the set value of the tax-free set value file F3.

  Subsequently, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) redisplays the tax exemption recounting screen to which the content of the transaction history is added, based on the transaction history read in step S32 (step S34). For example, when the transaction history of the transaction number "0422" is read out, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) adds the transaction contents to the area A1 of the tax exemption recounting screen G9 shown in FIG. Further, each time the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) reads a new transaction history, the POS terminal 2 adds the transaction content to the area A1 and displays it. As a result, as shown in FIG. 24, the tax exemption recounting screen G10 in which the transaction history is displayed in a list is displayed in the area A1. In area A1, the transaction date and time (date, time), cash register number, transaction number, and tax exemption target amount (transaction amount) are displayed as the transaction content.

  Further, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) displays a message or the like indicating that the transaction history determined to not satisfy the condition in the condition determination of step S33. For example, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) displays a message indicating that the tax exemption target has been completed for the transaction history not satisfying the first condition, and makes the display of the transaction content non-execution. Further, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) displays a message indicating that it is not subject to tax exemption for the transaction history not satisfying the second condition, and makes the display of the transaction content non-execution. In addition, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) displays a message indicating that the transaction history does not satisfy the third condition is different from the transaction date of the other transaction history, or performs highlighting by color coding or the like. In addition, the POS terminal 2 (display means 306) displays a message indicating that the tax exempt amount is out of the set value range, and performs highlighting by color coding etc., for the transaction history not satisfying the fourth condition. .

  It is assumed that the transaction displayed on the tax exemption recounting screen can be excluded (deleted) from the object of processing by the operation through the keyboard 21 or the touch panel. In addition, by selecting the transaction displayed on the tax exemption recounting screen, the tax exempt items included in the transaction may be displayed as a list.

  Subsequently, the POS terminal 2 determines whether or not the specification of the transaction is ended (step S35). Here, when a new transaction number is designated (Step S35; No → Step S31; Yes), the POS terminal 2 shifts to Step S32. Further, when the POS terminal 2 receives an operation of instructing determination from the keyboard or the like, the POS terminal 2 ends the specification of the transaction (step S35; Yes), and the process proceeds to step S36.

  In step S36, the POS terminal 2 executes tax exemption processing on the tax exempt product of each transaction displayed on the tax exemption recounting screen (step S36). The amount exempted from this tax exemption is refunded to the applicable customer (non-resident).

  In addition, since the tax exemption process of step S36 is the same as the tax exemption process of step S11 mentioned above, description is abbreviate | omitted. Further, the duty-free process in step S36 may be configured to suppress execution 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-exempt processing of step S36.

  Thereafter, the POS terminal 2 generates sales data indicating the contents of the transaction of this process, and transmits the data to the store server 4 to store it as the transaction history in the transaction history DB 1. 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 processing to “1” indicating tax exemption processing completed. Further, the POS terminal 2 (printing means 310) executes a printing process.

  In the printing process after the tax-free recounting process, for example, one purchase purchase written statement, two purchase record slips, and one receipt are printed, and one refund receipt is printed. The POS terminal 2 also executes journal printing.

  Here, the refund receipt will be described. FIG. 25 is a view showing an example of the refund receipt R5. The refund receipt R5 is a document describing the transaction subject to the tax-free tabulation process and the refunded amount (tax-exempt amount). The refund receipt R5 is delivered to the non-resident customer.

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

  As described above, according to the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, the tax-exempt process of the tax-exempt object included in the transaction can be performed at one time for one or more transactions designated as the process target. Such procedures can be performed efficiently.

  While certain embodiments have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example only, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. These embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and the gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and the equivalent scope thereof.

  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. However, the reading method is not limited to this. Specifically, when a storage medium such as an IC tag is embedded in the passport, the information corresponding to the description may be read from the storage medium by using an RFID reader as the passport reader 27.
