The Tax Transactions Report displays ONLY taxable transactions that have posted during the time period selected.

The Report categorizes transactions by each Tax set up in the system. For example, a primary tax like Occupancy Tax will display all Room Rent transactions. See Tax Configuration. Bookings that have been set to "Tax Exempt" in the Booking Data of the booking will not appear in this report. See Tax Exempt Report and Booking Data

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 this setting is checked, then ONLY Room Rent will be charged to the folio and NOT Room Tax.

The report displays guest and booking information, folio balance and payments, the tax amount that would have been charged and the total room rent of the booking without tax.

Note that this report is based on creation date of the booking, not the Arrival and Departure dates.
