Using the 75/25 rule functionality

In France, it is an industry standard to produce within the property management system, a VAT report that includes the 75/25 rule. Before you can use this functionality:

  • You must set up two transaction codes in the tax group.

    See Transaction codes for 75/25 rule.

  • You must use the Screen Designer during installation to display the Alternate Package Tax Group. If this transaction code is used for an item within a package that is eligible for the Alternate Package Tax Calculation, select the tax group used to calculate the alternate tax.

To use the 75/25 rule functionality:

  1. Select Rates and Sales > Pricing > Room Rates.
  2. Click Edit to edit the rate plan that you want to modify.
  3. Click the Package Details tab.
  4. Select the Use Alternate Package Tax Calculation check box. The check box is displayed only if a non-room item for which the Eligible for Special Package Tax check box is selected, is present.
  5. Select Rates and Sales > Pricing > Non Room Items.
  6. Select the Eligible for Special Package Tax check box.
  7. Select Administration > Property > Transactions > Transaction Codes.

    Select the package that you want to use.
  9. Save the record.
  10. The system applies the alternate tax group when processing the non-room items within a package rate during EOD posting if both the Use Alternate Package Tax Calculation and the Eligible for Special Package Tax check box are selected.
