Create taxes
The content of this page is specific to the Delphi product type only. If you are using the Delphi Core product type and want to learn more about the Delphi product type, contact your sales representative.
The information in this topic applies to the tax function with version R20 and lower. To learn about the enhanced taxes feature available with version R21 and higher, refer to Overview: Enhanced taxes.
Each tax you define can have a schedule of tax rates. For example, your local sales tax might be 4.5% this year but is projected to go up to 4.7% next year. When you add the local sales tax, you can define both rates and indicate the date ranges. The correct rate applies to each booking event based on the event date. You do not need to manually update each menu and item every time a tax rate changes. Delphi does this for you.
Taxes are defined at the property level by an administrator. Users cannot modify taxes when they create a booking event. Changes can be made only on the Property page.
