Can I run a monthly tax breakdown for a custom date range of 30 days?

No, the tax breakdown can only be run for one calendar month at a time. It cannot encompass multiple months in one download.

The tax breakdown numbers don’t match what I expect. Why?

The monthly tax breakdown includes bookings based upon availability date. Bookings for an availability within the selected month will only be included if they have:

• An uncanceled booking status (including unpaid as well as fully or partially paid), or
• A canceled booking status, if it was fully or partially paid for your Dashboard

How can I double-check a monthly breakdown’s numbers?

To cross-check the data shown in the monthly tax breakdown, we suggest any booking report configured to the following parameters:

• Dates: Select the same month configured for date range.
• Report on: Select Availability date.
• Filter bookings:
  1. Select the following filters:
     • Uncanceled bookings
     • Canceled bookings with > 0 paid
  2. Click the Save button to save filter updates.
• Columns: Select Tax By Type and Total Tax.

Will our tax breakdown include bookings we have made for partners?

No, a tax breakdown will not include bookings your business has made for partners. However, a tax breakdown generated by the partner will include any bookings your business has made for them.

Conversely, a tax breakdown you generate will include any bookings made by affiliates.

Will a tax breakdown include corrections to account for refunds?

Although a tax breakdown will not include corrections to account for refunds, the Payouts & refunds report can be used to review refund reserve information.
