Sharp EL-1750 V how to set the TAX % using the TAX button

Non-printing models MS-20NC (also applies to HR-8TE printing calculator):

1. Press [AC]
2. Hold [SET/%] key for about 2 seconds
3. Press [TAX+]
4. Input the tax rate
5. Press [SET/%]


Printing models MS-20NC (except HR-8TE):

2. Press [CA]
3. Hold [SET/%] key for about 3 seconds
4. Input the tax rate
5. Press [TAX+]
6. Press [SET/%]

TO CHANGE TAX RATE PRESS CA THEN +TAX PUT IN 20.00 THEN DO YOUR CALCULATIONS

See the example in the fifth column of the second page of this manual: http://files.sharpusa.com/Downloads/ForHome/HomeOffice/Calculators/Manuals/cal_man_el2630P.pdf

Press +TAX
press the number you need to set it at
Press +TAX again then CA

worked for me!!

Hope this helps

If the model is EL-2125 , and not 2125C or 2125E the following will work

1)switch on
2)press CE and then CA (you should see 0. with small 00 in top left hand corner but nothing else)
3)press M- button (rate set button),current tax rate 17.50% will appear with tax at left hand side
4) type new rate eg 15.00 (making sure to hit the decimal and two zeros, tax at the left and % should still be on the screen)
5) press M- (rate set button) (small 00 will appear in top left hand corner)
6) press = ( new rate and G will appear small 02 in top left hand corner and = sign below it)

hope this works for you, please let me know either way

Solution #1 has it backward..
(tax rate), STR, TAX+ (or TAX-)
Example- San Francisco sales tax = 9.5% you enter 9.5, STR, TAX+.
now it functions as (amount entered) plus tax. Example- find the total with tax for a purchase of $14.99 14.99, TAX+ Calculator will show 16.41

On your Sharp press
CA
C.CE
C.CE
RATE SET(+TAX Key)
175(No decimals for they are not taken into consideration)
RATE SET(+TAX Key)

To check if all went well press
CA
C.CE
C.CE
RATE RECALL(-TAX Key)
It should read your tax rate.

I Finally figured it out after playing with it for almost 1/2 an hour!

Hit 2nd then Tax + (rate set) it will appear as 0.000 enter your tax rate... mine is 5% so I enter 5.0 then hit 2nd and Tax + (rate set again) And it will work!

It is glorious!!!

Ihad lost the manual and i would like the percent for taxes

I had the same problem and finally figured it out. Here's what you do:

Press C-CE twice
Press +TAX (Rate set)
Key in your new tax rate as an integer (e.g. 5)
Press +Tax (Rate set) again
Press C-CE

Then you're ready to calculate with the new rate!

Now what's the GT button for?
