How to check the Report

Let's explain the values displayed in the report.
1) Customers
It is the number of paying guests, to whom the tax is applied. So this is the tax that you find inside your reservations under "GUESTS". The value is divided into:
- Nights: number of nights spent by these customers (sum of the nights spent by each guest).
- Paid days: among the above nights, how many are subject to tax. Not all overnight stays have to be taxed, if your municipality only charges the tax for the first X days.
- Total collected: total value of the tax for those guests
2) Exemptions and Reductions
Below you find all your exemptions and reductions that you configured. Again, for each one nights, paid days and total collected are displayed. Exemptions and reductions are not already included in the customers number mentioned above, they are additional.
3) Total Customers
It indicates the total number of guests, including both taxable guests (those of point 2) and exemptions/reductions.
4) Total
It depends on the number of nights subject to tax and the amount indicated in the tourist tax settings, which can be fixed or percentage, per person, per room or per reservation. So the total multiplies the taxable customers by the cost of your tax.
How to get a reliable report?
Tax recalculation after changes
- change of dates
- change of occupancy (e.g. you set 3 adults instead of 2)
- recording the data of a child (if you record the data of a child who is exempt, including the date of birth, you must then carry out the recalculation so that ZaK sets the tax to zero).
What to do if the report seems wrong?
If you think that the report is wrong, then it means that a recalculation of the tax is required for some reservations. For example, if you make some changes inside the reservation, then the tax must be recalculated (see the previous point).
So now you need to open the reservations for that period one by one and recalculate the tax, and then consult the report again.
