Derived Tax Exempt Rates (USA)
Tax-exempt rates should allow for derived from taxed rates. The current functionality requires US properties to maintain 2 Base Rates -- 1 taxed and 1 tax-exempt. The taxes are irrelevant to the base rate pricing, and a are function of the guest type (church, government, non-profit), OTA pays tax, or 30+ day stay. There is no reason they should be managed separately from other rates.

VAT drop for longstay guests (28+ days)
in the UK the VAT drops from 20% to 4% from the 29th night.. which is currently happening in Mews however the total amount doesn’t change just the internal split changes. So properties are not able to pass the benefit of the reduced tax to guests which ideally they should do or at least would like to do.

Enhanced routing rules (on reservation level)
Many larger properties in the United States route rules on reservation level. For instance, in business travel, you need to route all room and tax to the paymaster and leave incidentals on the guest bill.

Showing subtotals on the reservation screen
When creating a new reservation, on the right handside, the total is including all the added products & city tax. We should be able to see a subtotal NOT including the City Tax.
Further more, as we could only see the average rate before, it would be great to have the rate detailed per night.12 votesHello Mélissa,

Add Elements on the reservation screen with dates
Hello,
I love using your system it's really simple and effective.Just one suggestion maybe: when we had elements on a reservation (breakfast, city tax, half board etc...) it would be nice to have an option to select the dates we want them to be charged. At the moment, it charges them automatically for the all stay and we have to cancel the lines we don't need one by one (for example for a customer that stays 5 nights but wants breakfast only one day).
Best regards.

reservation report- new filter
Reservation Report- add possibility of choosing which products should be included into this report. Some of products are not included into reservation revenue, especially for channels, for ex. breakfast can be included product and at the same time accommodation tax is an additional product not included into the price of reservation. The result- we are not able to see the actual revenue of all reservation received from channel and there is no other report where we can find revenue by channel/TA in MEWS.

Mark Reservation as Tax Exempt
Some guests have valid government documents which exempt them from paying any lodging taxes, etc. (VAT etc). There should be some checkbox that allows for the room rate to stay fixed but no taxes to be posted as liabilities. Tax Exempt reason should be collected and added to reservation
There should be a separate report of such reservations per month as well.

Impossible to report on net room revenue per rate code when city tax is hardcoded and included
When city tax is hard coded in Mews (such in Hamburg) and included in the rate, Mews makes two postings, one to deduct city tax from the room rate and one to add it as city tax.
Mews marks both of those postings as "additional expenses". This is incorrect, as the reduction of the rate is a "space charge", not an "additional expense".
Consequence is that the hotels are unable to report on net room revenue in all reservation reports, as they cannot filter out the city tax / additional expense as originally foreseen by Mews.

Accounting category of canceled items
We can´t define a specific accounting category for canceled items for deposits or hardcoded city tax. The accounting category is taken from the Canceled item accounting category defined in the Bookable service. But deposits and city taxes are usually having different accounting categories than nights.

Clear breakdown of the total cost with VAT and all City taxes clearly displayed at some point through the booking journey.
In order to successfully use Google META Search, the VAT and all city taxes should be displayed at some point during the booking process in the booking engine. This is a requirement from Google when you want to use META Search: https://support.google.com/hotelprices/answer/6064432?hl=en
If you don't have this, your website might be penalized, because the hotel is not allowed to show in the top positions in META.

Tax Exempt Duration of Stay
In most of the United States, if a guest stays longer than 30 days in a row, then their entire stay is no longer eligible for lodging taxes. Most PMS systems then refund the entire tax liability for the month and credit it to the guest folio. All room nights for any reservation with over 30 days is tax free after the guest has actually stayed for 30 days.
This needs to be a feature that is rolled out in Mews sooner rather than later if Mews wants to scale into mid-sized hotels which often see corporate travelers stay longer…

Change reservations after payment
We should be able to change reservations after they are paid.
Change number of persons in dorm and cancel taxes.11 votesHi Mewsers,
In some countries, taxes or the number of people on the reservation are automatically reported to the government. It’s illegal to edit this information after it’s been reported.
If you’d like to edit this information for your specific country, please add a new feature request and we’ll look into the laws one by one.

Personal ID fulfills the Gap of tax ID for invoicing to a person
I need that somehow the personal ID number appears in invoices to any person when they request it under personal name. These can be donde "manually", but if in the profile, once you fulfill the id number appears as well in tax identifier gap, will save time to us.
Regards!

Hard Coded City Tax Financial Reports in Accounting Category Additional Expense when Rebated Automatically
Currently when a GDS, OTA, TA etc cancels a reservation, the Hard Coded City Tax is rebated in the Additional Expenses Accounting Category, even when the City Taxes have been configured as "City Tax" in the Accounting Configuration -> Additional Expenses. This creates 2 separate lines in the Accounting Report (1 in the Accommodation / Additional Expense Rebate and the other in the Taxes / Rebate City Tax).

Having the tax identifier on the invoices to be changed to VAT No
The VAT Act is very specific regarding the requirements for a Tax Invoice to be valid for VAT purposes. As per the SARS website (https://www.sars.gov.za/ClientSegments/Businesses/Government/Pages/Tax-Invoices.aspx) the following information is required on the document:
As from 8 January 2016, the following information must be reflected on a tax invoice for it to be considered valid:
• Contains the words “Tax Invoice”, “VAT Invoice” or “Invoice”
• Name, address and VAT registration number of the supplier
• Name, address and where the recipient is a vendor, the recipient’s VAT registration number
• Serial number and date of issue of invoice …10 votesHello from the Mews product team. Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, this request will not be added to the Mews development roadmap. Thank you for sharing your suggestions.

Modify City Tax Product to not impact rate
The City tax product should be loaded so to not impact the rate. Should the number of guests in a room evolve (from two to one), the nightly rate of the room should not be impacted. One city tax should simply be removed from the billing.

VAT rates are not included in the rates/getall API call at the moment
The VAT rates applied cannot be extracted through the rates/getall API call or any other calls yet.
This is the "Tax Rate" field shown when you view a rate in the Mews website.
Due to various changes over the last year, this is crucial to have for reporting.

Build Resort Fee option or allow products to not display within Nightly Rate total on distributor
We use resort fees at our property and have product rules in place so they are automatically attached to rate groups however this is never displayed on the distributor. It only appears once the reservation has been booked and can seem to some guests as a 'surprise fee' if they do not read the fine print.
Would be best to have a resort fee option built or be able to include products on distributor without them being displayed as an addition to nightly rate but within the 'Fees and Taxes' section.
The option to include price in offer does not…
