This dialog primarily defines the VAT/GST-rates. These rates can be used to define individual rates for each service in the service master file.
In addition, special requirements can be entered under taxes/service charges, which may vary greatly from country to country. E. g. Austria levies a service tax on accommodation charges and visitors’ taxes for guests. To enter any taxes here, please check registry key activate taxes [1340].
Taxes and service charges are calculated using the accommodation charges of a package and will be displayed in a separate column of the accommodation account in the revenue report. There are taxes which are again subject to VAT/GST and those which are exempted from VAT/GST:
•VAT/GST-exempt: e.g. visitors tax.
•subject to VAT/GST: service charge is normally added to the net accommodation revenue and VAT/GST applied to the sum.
