Determines how tax is calculated on items or tickets sold at POS:

• NONE: Tax is calculated normally on a line-by-line basis for each individual item, and then summed for the transaction.
• CANADA ONTARIO: Prepared food items with a value less than $4 only attract Goods and Services Tax (GST); prepared foods over $4 also attract Retail Sales Tax (RST) in addition to GST.
• COMBO SELLABLE ITEMS: Tax is calculated per individual item within a combo, and then summed for the transaction.
• PDA CONC OVERRIDE: In some countries concession items purchased at the counter are tax-free, but concessions bought from a mobile operator serving from a PDA device must be taxed.
• USA: The total tax paid on an order satisfies the state requirements with regard to rounding rules. If this option is selected, the rounding rules need to be specified in the TaxRuleParams system setting.
• Swiss City Tax: Tickets are subject to three sequential taxes: a city-level Entertainment Tax, VAT, and a national author-rights tax. Taxes are calculated using the net value from each level of calculation.

  Note: The Swiss City Tax setting requires that Vista Cinema be configured to run in tax-inclusive mode.
  The Sales Tax Level 1 value will be overridden for items included in a package, so use another value for those items.

• India: Tax rates are calculated based on price thresholds. For example, a lower GST rate applies for tickets priced at 101 rupees and below.

  Note: Tax for discounted tickets is calculated based on the threshold applicable for the discounted price.
