City Tax in DK - SETUP

Here are the instructions on how to set up the lodging tax in DK: 

Lodging Tax
In the DK inventory system, there are specific configurations for calculating the lodging tax.

Start by going to Finance - Accounting Keys and creating a new accounting key that collects the lodging tax.

Next, create a sales booking category under Inventory - Setup - Sales Booking Categories that refers to this accounting key.

The next step is to create a special product (Inventory - Products) called lodging tax. Make sure the Product Type is Lodging Tax. This product must be linked to the new sales booking category. Note that discounts on the lodging tax cannot be allowed.

The products for accommodations need to be marked with the Product Type as Hotel Accommodation, and the product for lodging tax should be linked as an additional item to the accommodation. On the product card, there's an Additional Charge section where the lodging tax product is added, as shown in the image below.

If you don’t see "Lodging Tax," you need to add it to the license free of charge with DK. Please contact DK if that's the case, and they will add it to the license. After they add it, you will need to update the license.

Note that if the lodging tax has already been set up in the system, you can continue to use that setup. The lodging tax product may have been deactivated, but you can reactivate it by showing inactive products, finding the product, opening it, and unchecking "inactive" and saving with F12. Then it can be reassigned to different product numbers for accommodations as an additional charge if needed.

We also recommend reviewing all settings on the product, ensuring the accounting key and sales booking category are correct so that the booking in finance is processed correctly.
