The same rate flexibility you just got for pricing, now coming for tax.
We recently brought per-guest pricing to your derived rates. Next, we're giving those same rates something just as powerful: their own tax setup.
The problem today. Right now, every derived rate is locked to the tax configuration of its base rate.
But we learned that hotels in North America don't work that way. A government or corporate rate, a tax-exempt rate, a long-stay rate, or a channel-specific rate can each carry a different tax obligation. The only way to handle that today is to build a separate base rate for every tax variation. This creates more rates to manage, messier distribution, difficulties syncing so many rates with RMS’ and reporting that's harder to trust.
What's coming. Soon you'll be able to set taxes directly on any derived rate, so the right tax applies to the right guest, automatically. And it works just like per-guest pricing:
- Inherit by default. Derived rates pick up their tax from the base rate, so nothing changes unless you want it to.
- Override when you need to. Give any rate its own custom tax in a couple of clicks. No duplicate base rates or workarounds needed.
- One clean rate structure. Fewer rates, correct tax everywhere, reporting you can rely on.
This is a big step toward making Mews the easiest place to handle complex, multi-tax setups, without the spreadsheet gymnastics.
Want it first? We're lining up a group of hotels to get early access and help shape it. If different rates in your property need different taxes, raise your hand - tell us about your setup and we'll bring you in early.
