  1. City taxes amount is different between adults and children, and among children based on their age.
    Would be useful to create a rule that recognises the different kind of partecipants and their age among children, showing, then, the different amounts due

  3. MEWS calculates prices with and without VAT per product and presents them per product on the invoice.

    At the end of the invoice MEWS presents the summary of the prices with and without VAT per VAT.

    On huge invoices the calculated and presented total price without VAT is not the same as the summary of the presented prices without VAT per product due rounding differences.

    Guests/companies/ accounting are complaining about this.

    THEREFORE PLEASE ADJUST and do not present the price per product without VAT per product. (only VAT in %, amount and price with VAT)

    OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
    Show VAT &…

  4. When changing the number of people in a booking if you select KEEP OLD PRICE, the system will change the city tax and add the difference to the room price. Please change this so that the price of the room is not changed, the city tax has nothing to do with room night prices.

  5. City tax is very complicated and often includes several conditions and limitations that are specific to each legal environment. Currently, each property must be careful to apply this city tax according to their own legal requirements, however integrating this knowledge into each Legal Environment within Mews could help simplify many processes, as tax would be automatically applied or deducted where necessary.

  6. In the US, upon arrival the hotel puts hold (pre-authorizes) the guest card for certain amount/night (it's usually a flat rate). They keep the money on hold and when the guest exceeds their spending (restaurant, spa charges etc that they put on their room), the system should then pre-authorize additional amount. It's like credit the hotel holds for the spending of the guest during their stay.

    In other PMS systems you can program the amount either per day (i.e. $50.00 per day on top of the room & tax) or per stay flat rate (i.e. $150.00 per stay). Then, as…

  8. 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.

    There should be a separate report of such reservations per month as well.

    Thanks for your patience as we work to bring your ideas to life! You can learn more about the changes coming to UserVoice from this post in the Mews Community.

  9. Make the invoice clearer by not putting taxes etc. on each item/line but only at the bottom of the invoice.
    Or if you need details in some countries, give us the possibility to choose the presentation style

  10. It would be interesting to be able to enter the tourist tax with a unit or relative amount for adults, and to have the possibility of setting exemption categories such as: "children under the age of 12, invaled, police, etc.". also have the possibility to insert a period of applicability for seasonal hotels (Sea, Mountain).

  11. Must be splited on three different levels and presented to the guest with split details. Paris for instance :

    "Town" tax : 5% per night
    "Departemental" tax : +10%
    "Local" tax : +15%

    Stay tax must be automatically deducted for under 18 years old

  13. 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.

  14. In some cases rates are offered/contracted including city tax. It would be nice if reservations department can select a rate with city tax already included instead of having to calculate and deduct the city tax (which in our case is dependent on the number of guests and booked meals) from the rate first.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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.
