Seattle has multiple sales tax rates?

YES Seattle and King County has two sales tax rates depending on what you are selling! And yes the two sales tax rates can apply to the same business depending on how it is selling the items. I'm not going to quote rates or try to replace the experts at the Department of Revenue but please reserach this out to make sure you are charging the correct Sales Tax rates on your products.

Here it is in a nutshell Retail Goods are at one rate. Retail goods in this case mean non restaurant food or beverage. Prepared food and berverages served ready to consume at an eating establishment is a different sales tax rate. Here is the KICKER if you sell both you must collect the proper tax rate by item. Lets say you sell hot dags and soda but also sell t-shirts and hats. The food is one sales tax rate the T-Shirts and Hats are another even in the same transaction!

Click here For a good Cash Register in the Seattle Area that can do this. Lets hope it does not get any worse and we end up with three rates! Don't even get me started on desination tax Washington also employs!

SAM4s SPS-500 Series Cash Register is the one to beat

So as we start a new year at NBS we predict that the SAM4s SPS-500 series register will still be the leader of the pack. 2010 was a great year for this Hyvrid cash register and we don't see anything on the horizon that would change that.

If you are stuck in the middle of needing more then a cash register but not quite ready for a computer based POS system then you need to look at the SAM4s SPS-500 series system.

The line up of this model include:

• SAM4s SPS-520
• SAM4s SPS-520F
• SAM4s SPS-530
• SAM4s SPS-530F

Don't wait another year!

Tax Rates for Cash Registers and POS Systems in Seattle

So in King County Washington we have several different sales tax rates that can affect a business. In Seattle and Bellevue and other parts of King County we have a tax rate on prepared food that is higher then our regular sales tax on retail goods. How can this effect your business? Well lets say you are a restaurant or bar that also sells shirts or hats, or maybe cooking equipment, recipe book, etc. your prepared food would be one rate, and your retail goods would be a different rate. I'm not going to mention the rates as I would rather have you check with the county and state! I can just tell you from our experience in the Cash Register and POS systems in Seattle that there are multiple rates!

Also if you are a retail outlet that also have a little deli or snack bar you would need to pay attention to this as well. Lets say you are a c-store selling cigs and beer that are taxable but you also have a deli that sells jojos and chicken! Well I would bet that your jojo's and chicken will be taxed at a higher rate!

POS Credit Card Security

OK, like everyone else you have probably seen the headlines and received the telemarketing calls about credit card security.

We not trying to add to the hysteria but it is real and we are all about to become way to familar with it. What does that mean for your point of sale system you may ask? Well it means you have to protect your data know more the ever before. Right here in the Seattle area they have arrested a server who was stealing large amounts of credit card numbers, police are still looking for the theives who stole thousands of credit card numbers at a gas station in Puyallup.

What can you do? Here are a few steps you can take.

• Make sure your POS system is PCI compliant and you are using an up to date version.
• Ensure you are using up to date Anti Virus and Spyware blocking software
• Use a firewall to prevent access to your computer.
• Control who uses your computers with log in and passwords
• Use an integrated POS system, not a stand alone credit card terminal. Why you might be asking yourself. Yes integrated is more complicated and requires more expensive hardware, however it makes it much harder for a server/cashier to re-run a card. Because integrated systems require a sale be registered first.
• Security systems recording what clerks and servers are doing are a huge deterrant. Interface your security system to your POS for more theft stopping power.
• Keep you records and computer locked!
• Watch you servers and cashiers from time to time. Watch what they do when they take a credit card. Do they dissapera for awhile. Do they carry anything strange around credit card transactions that look like a PDA or iPod? The reason to pay attenetion is because servers/cashiers have been caught right here in Washington State using credit card skimmers.
