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.

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…

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!

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

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.

Routing Rules for Product Categories only
Currently when you create a routing rule you can select a product category to be routed. However when doing so you need to also select either the nights or city tax to be routed. It would be good if you could select just a product category.

Automated payment request
In order to reduce the Check In Queue, we would like to give our customers the opportunity to pay their pending City Tax and additional costs in advance.
We figured sending an automatic payment request link 2 days in advance would be a good solution for that, but as is, there's no possibility to send out requests in bulk, nor automatically.
Another issue might be that reservations using Virtual Cards would still have the entire amount outstanding, so it would need to be able to recognize that.

Base automatic product rules and settlements not only on Rate Groups
Would be great to base automatization not only on the rate groups. For example city tax can not be excluded from booking.com collect reservations, but are from booking.com hotel collect ones. This way it would be possible to create different rules for them.

Some small changes in the usability
Some small changes in the usability:
- Simplification of the date input for reports and reservation window, in which the start and end correlate to each other. If I select a start date in the future, the end date will also appear in the future, similar to the reservation input.
- Make grayed numbers selectable at the date of the next month.
- Extend reservation and manager report by another date input for the following functions: how many bookings were made in time period X for time period Y.
- Enable statistics showing which nightly added products are assigned to…7 votesHello from the Mews product team. Thank you for your suggestion, we have updated your request and set it as one to be upvoted by the Mews Community.

Rounding Precision
Mews rounds per item at the end down to 0.00 (inconsistent) dropping the 3rd decimal.
Channel Manager rounds at the end down to 0.000
US Taxes the Total Price.Leaves $0.01 at times from 3rd party booking engine to the PMS.
Example:
Rate = 299.00
Tax @ 13.45% = 40.2155 (IBE 3rd parties round up/down)
Total = $339.22However, Mews drops the 3rd decimal in the tax and returns $40.21. Therefore, the Total in Mews is $339.21 versus the IBE by 3rd parties (iHotelier and SynXis) which round up/down at the 3rd decimal.
This results in some cases a $0.01…

When a stay is extended and the original bill (with the city tax) was already closed, no city tax is automatically added on the new bill for the extended nights.

Add "arrival country" field
It would be helpful to add a field with calendar format to register guest date arrival into the country. At least in southamerica we need to know how many days a pax is staying in the country since arrival for tax requirements in order to have correct payments amounts.
Otherwise, costumizable fields for guest profile with formats (calendar, open field, others).
