How can I add taxes or fees to my event hotel?
You can find the location for adding taxes and fees to an event hotel in the "Taxes & Fees" tab in the event hotel profile. When taxes need to be changed at the hotel, you'll also want to come to this screen for the event hotel as any changes you make to the hotel profile don't automatically trickle down to the event hotel profile as well.
Here, you can add any applicable "$ Per Night" charges or "% Per Reservation" charges to the event hotel. You'll also notice that the existing taxes, fees per room night, and resort fee from the hotel profile will copy over to the "Taxes & Fees" tab. You will need to delete the old items here and create new items if the values vary from what is in the hotel profile.
When adding a tax item, it's important to know that this new tax will be applied to all "taxable" items. Basically, anything that isn't itself a tax item, such as a resort fee, is taxable by the taxes you add here.
Adding a new Tax or Fee
To add a new tax or fee to the event hotel profile, click Add Tax or Fee.
When adding a new charge you will need to input:
- Name
- Amount
- Whether it's a "$ Per Night" charge or "% Per Reservation" charge
- Whether it's tax or taxable
Cascading tax and fee changes
When adding or removing a tax or fee from the event hotel profile, the system will provide you with the option to cascade this change to all pre-existing reservations booked at the event hotel. When you toggle the cascade checkbox and save, the system will take a brief moment to make the update to every booking made under the hotel, and just like that, all of your bookings will be up to date with the new values.
