The purpose of this article is to give a high-level overview of how to map taxes for listings connected via the Boost Partner Network.

Tax Mapping Overview

All taxes that should be applied to reservations taken via the Boost Partner Network must be mapped on the Boost Tax Mapping page. Any tax that is not mapped in Boost will NOT be applied to reservations.

Default for Unmapped Tax

Anytime a new tax is entered in your property management software you will need to come into Boost and map that tax to the applicable categories. The Default for unmapped tax dropdown allows you to set a default category that any new/unmapped taxes will be automatically mapped to. This is a great backup in case you forget to map the tax in Boost.

Open

Mapping Taxes

To get to the tax mapping section, navigate to the Partner Network and click Manage Settings

Open

Then click on the ‘Tax Mapping’ tab.

When mapping taxes you will have some of the following options depending on your PMS and Channel:

Available Tax Categories

Select an option for each tax:

• DO NOT SEND: This is for taxes that you want excluded from being sent to OTA.

• Unspecified/Default: The taxes will be applied how you have set the “Default for any unmapped tax” at the top of the page.

Applicable To

In the Applicable to column you will have some of the following options depending on your PMS and Channel. Select an option for each tax. See Below:

• In Rent : This will override how you have taxes configured to be applied to fees, and only apply that tax to rent.

• In Fees: This will override how you have taxes configured to be applied to rent, and only apply that tax to fees.

• Apply to Rent & Fees: This will respect however you have taxes configured within your PMS to be applied to rent and/or fees.

• Apply according to my PMS: This will apply taxes the way you have them configured in your PMS, either applying to rent or fees, or both. It will also only apply to properties to which you have mapped this tax to.
