There are 3 different ways to add taxes to your rates. The first two are used for percentage taxes, while the third is used for fixed taxes.

1. Surcharges

Use this option if you want to display the room price without tax. The tax will be added on top of the displayed price later and separately. This setting is typically used in USA/Canada. Several surcharges can be used per room type or extra. You can add them under Settings -> Financials -> Surcharges.

Surcharges are automatically added to room types and extras, so if you don’t want the surcharge to be applied to a room or an extra, you can tick the box in the room type/extra settings.

2. Taxes Included

Use this option if you want the tax to be included in the displayed room price. This is typically used in Europe. Only one tax can be used per room type or extra. You can add it under Settings -> Financials -> Taxes included.

Then go to the room type/extra setting and select the tax from the drop down menu.

3. Extras

Use this option if you have a fixed amount that needs to be added as a tax – either as a fee per night or per person or a one-time fee. You can add it under Settings -> Extras.
