IMPORTANT:

In the case of a partial connection with Booking.com, taxes are only applied if they are added to the listings at the time of creation.

This means that if the listings are already connected, the taxes will need to be created manually in the Booking.com extranet. You must also ensure that the configuration is identical both in VRMS and in Booking.com, and verify that the taxes set up in VRMS are compatible.

Otherwise, if no match is detected between both configurations, the tax will not be registered in the reservation.
