1 Taxes which are added to the price

Sales taxed and other taxes which are added to the price of the lodging are "Upsell Items" which can be added in SETTINGS-PROPERTIES-UPSELL ITEMS.

1.1 Obligatory Percentage or Fixed Amount tags Tax

You can create one or more "obligatory percentage" upsell items to add one or more sales taxes in SETTINGS-PROPERTIES-UPSELL ITEMS.

Additional taxes like city or bed taxes which a fixed amount per stay or per night are set up as "obligatory" upsell items. Depending on how they are calculated the period setting is "per day" or "one time".

The setting "Per Room" means the value is calculated as a percentage of the room price and not other upsell items. In this example it will not be applied to the breakfast.

The setting Per Booking means the value is calculated as a percentage of the room price plus all selected items appearing before this one. In this example it will be applied to the breakfast.

2 VAT - tax which is included in the price

If your prices include VAT you can set the VAT rate in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->BOOKING RULES.

To show included taxes in the invoice use the template variables [INVOICETABLEVAT] or [INVOICETABLEVAT2]

2.1 VAT - on extras

By default the system will apply the VAT rate set in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->BOOKING RULES to all upsell items. If an upsell item has a different VAT rate you can set it in the "VAT" field in SETTINGS->PROPERTIES->UPSELL ITEMS.

If the VAT rate is the same for lodging and extras you do not need to enter anything in the "VAT" field.
