How to Invoice the Tourist Tax

The tourist tax can be invoiced in different ways, depending on your needs:

1. From the Booking

  • Follow the steps for issuing an invoice. Make sure that you included the tourist tax in the invoice in the invoicing rule.

  • In the preview, select only the tourist tax (if you want to invoice it separately) or leave it with the complete booking.

2. On Another Invoice

  • If you prefer, you can include the tax as an additional item within any other invoice you issue from the booking. You would need to include the tourist tax together with the rent amount in the invoice preview.

3. From "Extras and Services"


Quick Tips

  • Always check which taxes are selected before issuing the invoice.

  • Use the same invoicing criteria for all bookings (from the booking, with the complete booking, or as an extra).

  • Inform the guest in advance about this charge to avoid misunderstandings.

Common Mistakes

  • Forgetting the booking ID when invoicing from extras/services.

  • Assuming the system automatically includes all taxes (you need to check this).
