Per Person Taxes Subtract from Rate

Steps to setup Per Person Taxes in RMS that subtract from the Rate.

 

Overview

Per Person/Per Day Taxes can be setup to calculate without altering the final Rate Amount created on the account.

Per Person/Per Day taxes using this method will subtract the tax value for the number of guests from the Base Rate.

The Base Rate Amount will be reduced by the value of the Per Person Taxes to be applied on the account to create an end charge of the original Base Rate Amount.

✎ Please Note: RMS is highly configurable. Some Terminology, User Access & Permissions, Images, Labels, and Functions used in these articles may differ from your setup. CLICK HERE to find out more.
