Add effective date support for tax rules

Problem Statement:

  • When adding a new tax rule in Hospitable, there's no option to set an effective date
  • New taxes apply immediately to all future bookings, even if the tax should only start on a specific future date
  • This can result in incorrect tax charges on bookings made before the intended effective date

Current Workaround:

  • Waiting until the effective date to manually add the tax rule
  • This requires careful timing and planning to avoid premature application

Impact:

  • Risk of charging incorrect taxes on bookings made before the effective date
  • Manual tracking required to know when to add tax rules
  • Potential revenue loss or guest billing issues

Proposed Solution:

  • Add an "effective date" field when creating or editing tax rules
  • Taxes would only apply to bookings created on or after the specified date

Unlock:

  • Ability to schedule tax changes for future dates
  • Automatic application of new taxes without manual timing
  • Accurate tax compliance without risk of premature charges
