Threshold Tax Logic
There are some legal environments where the threshold tax applies. It means that if the rate of the stay is below a specific amount (e.g. $50/night), the occupancy tax doesn't apply.
The tax logic in Mews doesn't support it which prevents hostels to use Mews in regions like San Francisco or British Columbia.
The tax logic should treat nights above and below certain price range differently.

Create a possibility to exclude some product from the cancellation fees (in the settings)
It would be nice if their is a possibility to exclude product from the cancellation fees. For example: we do want to charge our product breakfast in our cancellation fees, but we want to exclude our tourism tax (verblijfsbijdrage) from the cancellation fee. At this moment this is not possible.

Tax Setup (Legal Environment) by Property Administrator
Allow each property to setup and modify their own taxes rather than have Mews hard code these taxes into the system. US taxes are complicated with local, city, county, state, TBID, tourism and other taxes that change independently from each other. This aligns with channel manager setups. Additionally, have the ability to create tax periods for all taxes i.e. start date, end date so that the system can properly tax reservations that cross a tax period change. Have the liability sit with the property administrator who receives notification of future changes and should be held responsible for these changes. This…

Split tax for one product in mews
Due to corona, German VAT for food was reduced from 19% to 7%. (There were other tax reductions already last year due to corona from 19-16% and mews handled everything fine).
Now the problem is that the product "breakfast" includes both food and drinks and therefore has to have 2 splits of tax.
I.e. if the total price is 15€, 10€ need to be taxed with 7% and 5€ with 19%. But in the mews products, I can only put one VAT Tax per procuct.
So some German Mews hotels add an extra product after every booking of breakfast manually…4 votesHello from the Mews product team.

No city tax for children and free breakfast for children
Would be easier to just add breakfast and city tax in case it's necessary than having to counterbook it with every single reservation where children are involved.

Cash Register Sweden
The obligation to use a certified cash register applies where the company’s sales take place in return for cash payment or in return for payment with a debit or credit card.
All forms of electronic payments, according to the Swedish Tax Agency, are equated with payments by debit or credit card. An example of an electronic payment is when a customer uses his or her mobile phone to make a payment via an app.
The Cash Register service enables you to report the cash register, modify information and report any malfunctions of the cash register.

A discount (%) campaign should also be possible to reduce also Products (Product Rule) with that %.
A discount (%) campaign should also be possible to reduce also Products (Product Rule) with that %. The obvious example is breakfasts - yet, preserving city tax without any % discount. This way, the myriad of special discounted Products, Product Rules etc would be avoided.

Invoice without details
Many customers ask for an invoice for their stays without details.
Now, each invoice contains the details of the services and on the same page a summary of the taxes.
It would be interesting to have the summary of the taxes on a separate page and which includes the same header and footer of the detailed invoice.3 votes -
Add setting for products 'commissionable' or 'non commissionable'
In order to get more accurate commission overviews we would like an option when setting up a product to define whether it's commissionable or non commissionable (so if it should calculate for the commission overview).
Things like city tax, extra products (not via OTA) are non-commissionable but will still be counted for commission rate.
A tickbox Comm/Non Comm will solve this and provide more accurate commission overviews to support invoicing and business intelligence.3 votesHello from the Mews product team.

Possibility to change the number of guests to zero
As we can have charged cancellations, we often let a room checked-in with 0 guest in house to keep a high occupancy rate even if the room is empty.
Currently, it is not possible to put less than one guest per room, so the city tax is posted and the reports are false.3 votesHello from the Mews product team.

Grouping products on invoices to reduce the length of a bill
Allowing to group the same products together on a bill would make it clearer for the guest. For example, if a guest stays for 15 days, his invoice will include 15 times the 'local tax' product making the invoice lengthy and not easy to read.
It would be better to simply display local tax x 15, for example.
It could maybe be set for specific products when configuring them.3 votes -

"Exclude from offer"
Let's take for an example the hotel "Hôtel Golf Château de Chailly".
After calling the "rules/getAll" and "products/getAll" we see that the product "6c5ed799-2e8a-4a18-8325-ac7a0086a886" is applied for "ResourceCategoryType" equals to "Room" and "Suite". But it's not added to the price displayed on the booking engine, for example, for tarif "7c58c0e7-64f2-41d6-aaff-ac6f00c31da1" and room "7599d179-e235-4894-9310-ac6f00c320ff".You colleague explained us that this product is the city tax. And as this product has the option Exclude price from offer so only the price of the room will appear on the distributor.
But how can we know if the product has this option (Exclude from…

Rate Rules setting, as Product Rules
Would be nice to have a Rate Rules settings (as also Product Rules) to be able to make more tailor made rates. At this moment we use the Rate Rules settings to setup rates, but this results in wrong city tax, because the Product Rules settings are not included in the (hard coded) city tax calculation.

Have products included in rate visible during the reservation process in Commander
When making a new reservation in Commander, there is no way to see a breakdown of the product(s) included in the rate until after the reservation is confirmed.
This is even more confusing when the product price is added to the rate. For example if the rate is EUR 100 per night and a compulsory city tax of EUR 1 per night is automatically added, there is no way for me to see instantly why I selected a EUR 100 but the total value of the booking is EUR 101.3 votesHi Peggy,

Virtual Credit cards and automatic charging
For Amsterdam Properties, the virtual Credit card amounts are for less than the full price since the guest needs to pay the 3 euro tourist tax upon arrival. I wonder if the automatic charging could read the amount imported under credit card information.
3 votesHi everyone,
Unfortunately, there’s no way for us to distinguish amounts as the only information we get is through Channel Manager notes which means that we cannot read the amount, that’s why I need to move this idea to “unlikely”. However, this doesn’t mean that we won’t keep a close look at VCCs & OTAs improvements.
I was trying to find out the way that this can be avoided. As that tax is paid when the guest arrives, what I can suggest is to create a new product, per person per night. Under options of that product, you can tick the box “exclude price from offer”, then create a product rule. After that, you can go to the rate group that you’d offer the product and just under “extent” – products should be unticked. What will happen in this case is that the product will be added to the billing…

Children count
When a booking is received from Booking.com or from a channel manager (in our case Rentals United, I don't know for others), we should get the number of children inserted automatically into Mews. It has impact on bedding and city tax.
As of now we have to go manually in each booking of each platform and manually insert the number into Mews.3 votesHi Mewsers,
This feature is available for all channel managers. In case there is still an issue with Children count, please contact our Customer Care team, so we can investigate on concrete examples.

Market Segments linked to Accounting Report
The Market Segment should appear on this report (like in Guestline Postings Report) so that we can relate actual daily revenue to market segments after deduction of tax and Breakfast etc.

Grouping Additional Expenses
Can we please have "Additional Expenses" grouped together the same way Products group on the "Items" tab in the reservation screen. Currently these show line by line and for City Tax for longer stays this creates a massive list. It is then harder to handle as you have cancel them 1 by 1, which then forces the PMS to refresh after each cancellation!
We have different agreements with OTAs and sometimes the CT is already covered in a different way.
This would be beneficial for other Expenses introduced in tot he system later on.
It should be a quick win…2 votesHello from the Mews product team,

Better Adjustments
I shouldn't have to create a separate adjustments account for each type of adjustment. If a night has already closed, and then the rate needed to be adjusted by a supervisor because of an error, then their adjustment should be just a Rate Adjustment - automatically contributing to room revenue. I shouldn't have to use the billing tab to then manually calculate rate vs tax breakdown, and post a separate "unbookable service" etc.
Also, refunds / adjustments should be able to be posted to the specific reservations even if they are closed out already. It should be possible to open…
