Tax Brackets Table
(Maitre'D 1999, and later versions of Maitre'D)
Instead of using a percentage, some areas use Tax Tables. These Tax Brackets have the particularity of repeating after a certain number of lines. For example, the following chart shows a repeating pattern for every dollar slice, over 6 cent levels, corresponding to a 6% tax.
Note: This example applies for the state of Florida, in the U.S. of A., but may be useful in other areas. You will need to obtain the sales tax table from your state or local tax agency.
