Belgium - hardcoded city tax / implementation

Good morning, 

From our contact person at Mews, I understand our city tax is hard coded.
So changes are handled by Mews.
 


Our city tax is indeed € 3,75.- NET
with 6% VAT added this becomes € 3,98.- 
with 12% VAT added this becomes € 4,20.-


This early morning (March 1st), I notice that our departures that stayed over last night has the city tax loaded for an amount of € 3,75.- (so without VAT added).

A new reservation also came in early this morning, and when I consult it, I see the city tax is again loaded for an amount of € 3,75.- (so without VAT added).

Can someone please look into this and provide feedback? 


Also, kindly share Mews’ interpretation on the VAT-percentage for city tax during the transitional period (reservations made before 01.03.2026 with invoice date 30.06.2026 latest): 
→ city tax continues to be subject to 6% VAT; or
→ city tax is immediately subject to 12% VAT

​​​​​​​Thank you very much in advance!
