What it is
The tax mapping interface is a new interface that allows you to automatically pass through taxes from your property management software (PMS) into Airbnb/Booking.com/or other distribution channels available in Boost. In addition to mapping the tax labels between PMS and the distribution channels, you can also disable a tax, or have the tax bundled into the rent.
How to find it
Log in to Boost
Click on My Account
Click on Term Mapping
Click on Manage Taxes
Finally, select the appropriate channel

The second column contains a series of drop-down lists with the labels available for taxes on that channel. The options in the drop-down lists will change depending on what channel they are being mapped to.
