This article describes the process of adding an exclusive tax/fee (on top of the reservation rate) to a reservation. Adding an exclusive tax/fee directly in reservation means that you need to calculate the amount of the tax/fee manually.
Add Exclusive Taxes and Fees to a reservation
Things to note:
- When you select a fee to add manually to the folio of a reservation or house account, the system will automatically load the amount of the fee you specified when you set up your fees.
- If you select a tax or fee that is a percentage, you will be able to write in a flat amount.
- If the fee has an exclusive tax applied, you will see it totaled in another field before clicking the Add button.
- To set up the system to add and calculate the taxes/fees automatically for specific sources, see: Applying Taxes and Fees to Specific Sources
- Access the reservation to edit, and click on the Folio tab
- Click the Add/Adjust Charge drop-down menu to select Add Exclusive Tax/Fee

- Select the guest to whom you want to assign the tax/fee
- Enter the tax/fee amount
- Select the date and time the tax should be posted. This information affects the Reports.
