The Tax Report found under the Manager's Report area, offers a report showing when the 'Tax Exempt' box is checked, 'manually' removed, or both. Note, this report is based on when the ACTION occurs and not when the booking arrives or checks out. Exempt Report displays bookings that have been set to "Tax Exempt" in the Booking Data of the booking. See Booking Data This is a manual setting that prevents tax(s) from being automatically added to the folio when Room Rent, or other Items, are charged to the folio (such as manually or via Night Audit processes). The booking must be set to "Tax Exempt" before night audit in order to prevent the tax from being automatically added to the folio. Again, if these Tax Exempt settings are checked, then ONLY Room Rent will be charged to the folio and NOT any taxes associated with the Room Rent item. The report displays guest and booking information, folio balance and payments, and the total 'Room Rent' of the booking without tax. Reports can be run for one year at a time, starting on any date you choose (past or future), but will be limited to one year.
Please note: The item 'Rent' is what is calculated when the 'Rent Only' flag is checked on the booking data page of the booking. This means that other items, such as no-show or cancel fees, even when placed under the inventory item group of 'RENT', will not be listed. If the 'Rent Only' flag is not checked on the booking, then all hotel charges are considered revenue when posted to the folio. This report is based on the creation date of the booking, not the Arrival and Departure datesIf one wanted to know how much tax exempt revenue was given in a particular year, then the report parameters will be long (say, from 2008 to 2010) and one would send the report to Excel and then sort via the Check Out date which is included in the report.
