Specifically, the print control unit 36, for each tax classification, based on the determination result by the tax rate specifying unit 33, information (product name, price, tax-included price) indicating the product for which the tax classification is determined, The tax amount for the merchandise is printed on receipt paper (details will be described later). The printed receipt paper is issued from the receipt issuing port 18.

  Next, an operation procedure executed by the POS terminal 2 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a procedure of operations executed by the POS terminal 2.

  First, in the POS terminal 2, as to the purchase format of the product to be purchased (sales registration target), whether the customer takes home or eats and drinks in the store is instructed by operating the division key of the keyboard 13. Such an operation reflects, for example, the confirmation result by confirming whether or not the store clerk takes the product back to the customer.

  The purchase format reception unit 31 waits until the classification key is operated on the keyboard 13 (step S11: No). When the classification key is operated, the purchase format reception unit 31 receives an input of the tax classification ID (key code) corresponding to the operated classification key (step S11: Yes). Next, the tax rate specifying unit 33 specifies the tax rate by acquiring the tax rate associated with the tax category ID from the tax rate master M2 based on the tax distinction ID input in step S11 (step S12). .

  Subsequently, the product code reception unit 32 stands by until the barcode is scanned by the scanner 19 (step S13: No). When the barcode is scanned by the scanner 19, the product code receiving unit 32 reads and receives the product code from the barcode data (step S13: Yes).

  The sales registration unit 34 acquires product information such as the product name and price set in the product master M1 for the product code, and calculates the tax amount and the tax-included price based on the tax rate specified by the tax rate specifying unit 33. (Step S14). Next, the sales registration unit 34 associates the tax classification and the tax rate acquired by the tax rate specifying unit 33 with the product information of the product specified by the product code and the calculated tax amount in the RAM (step S15). Specifically, the product code received by the product code receiving unit 32 and the calculated tax amount are stacked in an array (storage area) reserved for the “tax distinction ID” indicating the tax distinction.

  Subsequently, the sales registration unit 34 registers information on the sold product such as the product name, price, tax amount, tax-included price, and the like (step S16). Next, the display control unit 35 displays the product name, price, tax amount, tax-included price, etc. of each product registered by the sales registration unit 34 on the store clerk display 15 and the customer display 16 (step S17).

  Next, the purchase format acceptance unit 31 determines whether or not an operation for changing the purchase format has occurred on the keyboard 13 (step S18). In the determination process, the purchase format reception unit 31 determines whether or not the classification key has been switched. For example, when the classification key for instructing “in-store eating” is operated, when the classification key for instructing “take-away” is operated, the control unit 21 of the POS terminal 2 performs an operation for changing the purchase format. Judge that it was broken.

  In step S18, if the purchase format acceptance unit 31 determines that an operation for changing the purchase format has been performed (step S18: Yes), the process returns to step S11 and executes the process of step S12 based on the operated classification key. Let If the change of the classification key cannot be confirmed (step S18: No), the control unit 21 of the POS terminal 2 determines whether or not the current key is pressed on the keyboard 13 (step S19). While the current total key is not pressed (step S19: No), the process returns to step S12. Therefore, in step S15, for all products subject to sales registration, the product and the calculated tax amount for each tax classification are stacked and stored in the RAM.

  When the current key is pressed (step S19: Yes), the print control unit 36 sequentially reads the product and the tax amount stored in the RAM for each tax category, and stores the product name, price, The amount of tax and the price including tax are printed on the receipt paper (step S20). Specifically, the product code stored in the RAM is sequentially read for each tax category, and the contents (product name, price, tax amount, tax-included price) registered in step S16 for the product specified by the product code are read. Print on receipt paper. In addition, the print control unit 36 reads the “tax category name” for each tax category from the tax rate master M2, and prints information on the tax category, such as the rate of taxing on the product price in the tax category, on the receipt sheet. .

  FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of receipt paper printed by the POS terminal 2. As shown in FIG. 8, in step S19, the name of each product, the price including tax, and the tax amount for each product are printed on the receipt paper for each tax category. In the illustrated example, the product name (“product C”, etc.) and the tax amount (“¥ 2”, etc.) are printed on the receipt paper for each “Take home” and “In-store food”. Further, the tax rate (“Zay: 5%”, etc.) taxed on the price of the product is printed as information on the tax classification.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the print control unit 36 issues a receipt sheet printed from the receipt issuing port 18 (step S21). Then, the clerk performs an accounting process and ends the sales registration process for one account.

  In this embodiment, the operation of printing on the receipt paper in steps S20 and S21 is exemplified. However, the display control unit 35 displays the contents printed on the receipt paper in steps S20 and S21 described above. It may be displayed on the customer display 16. That is, it is only necessary to output at least one of the display on the salesclerk display 15 and the customer display 16 by the display control unit 35 and the printing on the receipt paper by the print control unit 36.

  As described above, the POS terminal 2 specifies the tax rate according to the purchase format according to the purchase format of the product specified by the product code, and uses the tax amount and the tax-included price calculated based on the tax rate. Register for sales. As a result, the tax rate imposed on the product can be changed according to the purchase format of the product, so it is possible to cope with a tax system that changes the tax rate (consumption tax) on the condition of the purchase format of the product. . Further, in the POS terminal 2 of the present embodiment, information indicating a product such as a product name and a tax-included price and a tax amount applied to the product are output for each purchase format (tax classification) of the product registered for sale. The Therefore, the store clerk and the customer can easily know the product and the tax amount for each tax category for each product registered for sale.
