🎉 Say Hello to Unique Tax Setups per Dependent rate — Now Live!
We've got exciting news for every property juggling multiple guest types, jurisdictions, or tax rules under one roof: per-rate tax configuration is here.
💡 What's new
Until now, every rate on a property inherited a single tax setup from its base rate. If you served federal employees, state employees, tax-exempt organizations, military guests, or diplomatic corps, each with their own tax treatment, or had different OTAs withhold different taxes, you had no choice but to juggle duplicate base rates and manual workarounds just to get the numbers right.
Not anymore. You can now:
- Set a custom tax on any dependent rate, independent of its parent
- Choose explicitly between "inherit from parent" or "custom/independent" for every rate, so nothing is ambiguous and nothing is accidentally wrong.
- See exactly where custom taxes are set at a glance, with a dedicated tax indicator column across your rate list.
- Trust that tax changes flow correctly through distribution channels, connector integrations, and RMS-driven pricing.
- Be able to change the tax applicable to a booking by changing the rate that applies to it.
📈 Why it matters for your business
Multi-jurisdiction tax handling has been one of the biggest hidden sources of complexity for hotels in the US and Canada, where a single property can face federal, state, county, and even city-level lodging taxes stacked on top of guest-type exemptions. Getting it wrong means compliance risk, revenue leakage, or hours of manual rate juggling every time a guest type or jurisdiction changes.
With per-rate tax configuration:
- 🏨 A clean rate strategy with fewer duplicate rates. Stop maintaining a separate base rate for every tax bucket. One rate structure, multiple tax treatments.
- ⏰ Faster setup. Configure a new dependent rate with the correct tax in minutes, not a support ticket. Inheritance allows easier management and faster setup
- 🎯 Cleaner, more accurate reporting. Every rate can carry its own correct tax attribution, so your revenue numbers reflect reality.
- 🌎 Built for how US and Canadian properties actually operate, where tax complexity by guest type and location is the norm, not the exception.
