Total fee = items with Actual fee selected.
Click Save.
⚠️Important: The Tax Item, Assign to Rate Code, and Assign to Room Type tabs are not available in Simple Tax Mode. If you do not see those tabs, your property is configured in Simple Tax Mode.
If your property requires any unsupported features, such as scheduling a tax rate change for a future date, Simple Tax Mode does not accommodate that. In those cases, contact your support team to discuss transitioning to the standard tax configuration.
