BCSS in Canada
BCSS addresses the special software needs of Canadian consignment businesses. Here are some of the added features for BCSS in Canada:
Shop Tax ID Printed On Sales Receipts - BCSS sales receipts are in compliance with the requirement to print Tax IDs on sales receipts. The Tax ID is entered in BCSS in Program Setup, General tab.
Tax-Exempt Clothing Items below $50 - Any clothing item sold for under $50 will not be subject to tax on the sales invoice. This includes items that were priced over $50 and subsequently reduced to under $50 from automatic or manual discounting.
To process such items as tax exempt, set up one or more categories (Main Menu, Inventory, Categories) and enter 50 in the 'Tax Above $' field. The display will show the dollar sign and 2 decimal places:

An item selling for $50 will be taxed. An item selling for $49.99 won't be taxed.
Two Sales Tax Fields to accommodate PST and GST. Tax rates are set in Program Setup, Sales.

Two tax fields are provided. Enter applicable descriptions and rates (in decimal form). Example: Enter .07 for 7%. The display will be to 5 decimals places. |
Print Both Taxes on Receipts - This option was added in March, 2009 to comply with governmental requirements. The On-Screen Sales Invoice will combine the 2 taxes but the 2 taxes will be printed separately on Sales Receipts.
Variable Tax Rates - A different tax rate may be applied to each item on the invoice. The entire invoice can be taxable or not. The 'Shop-Totals Report' displays variable tax rates.
