Revenue Tax Settings (Cloud)
Revenue taxes are taxes applied to room revenue. Visual Matrix allows properties to create and manage Revenue Tax Codes that can be assigned to revenue accounting codes for automatic tax calculation. Proper configuration ensures room taxes are calculated accurately and reported correctly throughout the PMS.

Configure Revenue Tax Codes
Revenue Tax Codes specify which taxes apply to room revenue transactions.
Properties may create multiple Revenue Tax Codes when required by local tax regulations.
Account Code
Identifies the tax code used for this revenue tax.
The Revenue Tax Code can later be assigned to revenue accounting codes, such as room charges, within Accounting Code Setup.
Important: A tax code used in the Revenue Tax Codes section cannot also be used in the Sales Tax Codes section.
Tax Percent
Defines the standard tax percentage applied when this Revenue Tax Code is used.
Example:
| Room Revenue | Tax Percentage | Tax Amount |
| $100.00 | 10% | $10.00 |
Post Separately
Controls whether room revenue and tax appear as separate lines or as a combined amount on guest folios.
When enabled:
| Description | Amount |
| Room Charge | $100.00 |
| Revenue Tax | $10.00 |
When disabled, the charge may appear as a single combined amount.
This setting affects folio presentation only and does not change how taxes are calculated.
