- Are you in the Legal Environment where deposits are not taxed on payment, and you would like to take advantage of our automated deposit postings?
- Are your guests prevented from checking out early, as their deposit s not recognised on the ledger until the last day of their stay?
I am happy to announce that our first improvements to the existing deposit flow, solving the above issues, are now ready for you to test
- Automatic Deposit Settlement: Properties will now have the ability to decide if deposits should be taxed.
To accommodate Legal Environments where deposits are not taxed on payments, such as United States, Canada, Netherlands to name the few, we now allow properties to decide for each rate group whether tax should be applied when using Automatic Deposit Settlement.
We will still issue the bill for the deposit payment, however, no tax will be declared.
- Deposits will now be consumed on the check-in.
Currently, the deposits are consumed at the check-out; our ledger report shows guest as owing money until the last day of their stay, even though they prepaid the full amount. That can also block guests from early check-out, if the property only allows to close the bills with consumed items.
With this change, the deposit will be reflected on the ledgers from the moment of the check-in, also correct consumption date will be displayed on the bill to the guest. Stay tuned! This is just the first step towards easier deposit tracking at Mews!
