The Local Tax Report in BedBooking allows you to conveniently collate and export your accrued local tax data for a selected period. You can use it for accounting, billing or record-keeping purposes depending on the requirements of local authorities.
The report includes both aggregated summaries and detailed data from each booking, so you have full control over how much local tax has been charged and collected.
📌 Note: Reservations with no deposit, canceled reservations, and reservations marked as unavailable are not included in the report.
