Transaction Categories for Taxes

Top  Previous  Next

Q: When I run a category-based report such as Charges by Category, the taxes (like Sales Tax) aren't showing up in the right place.

 

A: This is probably due to the Taxes setup (Maintenance / Park Setup / Taxes).  You need to make sure that appropriate categories are selected for each different kind of tax you have, because that category determines how the tax will be reported.  For example, don't select things like "Daily Rate" or "Giftshop" for the Category of the taxes, because that will cause the tax to be combined with charges for those categories.  Use categories like "Sales Tax", "Transient Tax", "Lodging Tax", "GST", "VAT", etc.  

 

If you need to add more appropriate categories for taxes, you can do that through Maintenance / Pick Lists / Transaction Categories.  Note that changing the category selection in the Taxes setup will not automatically fix any previous transactions.  You would have to go back and manually change the Category used for each tax transaction to correct the history.
