Hello everyone,


I was just about to create the city tax as a product, but I stumbled across “5% of the accommodation price, but a maximum of €9”... does anyone have a good solution for this?

 

Thanks :) 

Hello!

It’s amazing how many different varieties of how to calculate the city tax exist in Europe, especially DACH 😳😬😃🤯 - now that was something where EU wide unification/regulation would help ;-)

Did you check or ask support if Mews has a ready made „hard-coded“ solution for you legal environment? They do have them, but as there are so many, who knows 🤷… so check it out with support or your onboarding manager (if you are still onboarding)…

(Btw: For us in Vienna they had/have a hard coded solution, but it did not work correctly, as in Vienna we can base the city tax on logis only - without breakfast - but since Mews has no way to know which of our products is breakfast, it can not automatically account for that… but we could model it with a combination of products/rules finally)

kind regards,

jp.

Definitely those varieties they come up with are remarkable 😅

I did ask and I think there is a solution for that city already, I am just waiting for the ticket to be picked up. Thought it was quite easy which is why I was relaxed until it was time to work on the topic 😅

 


Hi ​@Sonja  Thanks for coming to the community with this one and ​@j.spiess  thanks for your input. City tax is complex and mostly something best handled by our support team. So, you did the right thing to raise this there and someone can give this a thorough review for you.
