Tourist Taxes: possibility for the host to setup the right taxes calculator and charge the amount to guests during the online check-in. We cover it for both classified and non classified accommodations.

For example in Paris we are able to replicate in the online check-in this formula:

Nightly rate (no fees, nights only), divided by number of guests, multiplied by 0.05 = X

If X is > or = to 4, then the nightly city tax rate applied to each adult is 5€

If X is >4 we take 25% (15% +10%) and multiply by number of adults and number of nights. The result will be the nightly city tax rate.
