- Enter the password for your device (default password is 0) and press TOTAL. Screen will display “1 0”.
- Press SH and + simultaneously and the first VAT will be displayed e.g. 1 14.00
- Enter the new rate, in this case 16.00 and press STL when you’re done

Awesome hack! Thank you for saving me some cash 😅👏🏽 I always wondered why I went to school if I can’t diy some things. Thank you for the guide MC Crutch.
Hi McCrutch
When I press SH and + simultaneously, am getting 2 …0 what next?
Gerishom,
Kindly use the – or + button to scroll through the various tax rates defined, once you identify the one for VAT which will most likely be displayed as “1 14.00 0.00” then you can change that to the new tax rates. After you’ve set the new rate kindly press STL followed by TOTAL to complete the operation. It should give you a printout of the new rate once done successfully.

McCrutch
It worked. Thank you.
