Multi-tax

Multi-tax is available with both tax-excluded and tax-included tax configurations. To enable Multi-tax, please reach out to FareHarbor Support or our Account Management team.

Once enabled, you can create Mult-tax components wherever you see a price sheet.

To begin adding components:

1. Click the Price field.
2. Select Component from the dropdown menu.
3. Once selected, click the link below the dropdown to Add components.
4. In the Price components overlay, input your desired price in the Amount field.
5. Select the desired Tax type from the Tax dropdown. Tax types must already be defined in the Tax section of your Dashboard settings. More information on creating tax types can be found here.
6. Click Done in the Price components overlay.
7. Click Save.

You may define how many components a customer type or custom field contains. While configuring prices and taxes, it’s possible to add or remove components.

Multi-tax components support inheritance starting from the Base sheet downward. This allows you to define a collection of base price and tax components, which will automatically be inherited by all other price sheets. More information on price sheet inheritance can be found on the Introduction to price sheets help page.

When the Components option is enabled from the Price dropdown in a price sheet, it is not possible to define an individual price and tax for a customer type or custom field, however, you may use the Inherit or Change options from the Price dropdown menu.

Price sheets with Multi-tax components are supported by price schedules.

While Multi-tax offers the ability to set individual prices and taxes for various components, enabling this feature produces some limitations on other functionality. Below are some feature limitations to be aware of.

Setting a total price for direct bookings

Once Multi-tax is enabled, do not apply a custom Final Price for a Direct booking. When Multi-tax is enabled, the Final Price is generated based on the sum of component prices and taxes.

Adding expenses and discounts via booking overview

In addition to defining final prices for direct bookings, it is also recommended that you do not add expenses and discounts in the Booking overview when Multi-tax is enabled.

Custom fields with adjustable pricing

Price adjustments cannot be added in the price sheet overview once Multi-tax is enabled.

Negatively-priced custom fields

When Multi-tax is enabled, do not apply a negatively-priced custom field to a custom field or customer type that uses Multi-tax components. In such cases, no error message will appear but taxes will be incorrectly calculated.

Can Multi-tax be used when bookings are made by third-party online travel agencies?

When bookings are initiated by third-parties via external APIs, the component breakdown is created in FareHarbor automatically.

Do Multi-tax components appear in reports?

Once you generate a report, you may include a breakdown by tax types but not specifically per component.

Will Multi-tax price components appear in receipts?

Yes, receipts, reports, emails, and the Dashboard book form list taxes by type. If your taxes appear differently, please contact Support.

Will customers encounter changes in the booking form when Multi-tax is enabled?

There will be no changes to the booking form when Multi-tax is enabled.

Can I receive component price and tax breakdowns via API from FareHarbor?

No, it is not currently possible to send component price and tax breakdowns to a third-party from FareHarbor.

Is a tax breakdown reflected in invoices?

Component breakdowns of taxes are not currently reflected in invoices. This functionality will be available in future updates to the feature.

Can price adjustments be made when Multi-tax is enabled?

Yes, price adjustments can be made when Multi-tax is enabled. For example, if a price adjustment is made to introduce a 10% discount, every component price will be reduced by 10%, and taxes will be calculated afterward.
