Great news for customers who have been struggling with manual calculations of accommodation tax that varies based on room rates!
We've now added an automatic calculation feature for Tokyo accommodation tax that activates once you enable the Tokyo tax settings.
The automatically calculated accommodation tax can be included in receipts, and with AirHost ONE check-in option + Stripe payment integration option, you can even process unmanned check-in payments ✨
*Important notes:
Accommodation tax must be added manually to each existing reservation
Automatic calculation is currently only available for Tokyo; other regions' accommodation taxes are not included in this feature
