Include sales tax in commissionable amount on owner statements

Problem statement

• Booking.com includes pass-through taxes in the gross booking amount, and Hospitable calculates commission on this full amount including tax
• Other platforms don't include tax in the commissionable base, causing inconsistent commission calculations across platforms
• This results in lower commission revenue on Booking.com bookings compared to other platforms

Current workaround

• None available - there's no way to adjust how commission is calculated on Booking.com bookings

Impact

• Reduced commission revenue on Booking.com bookings
• Inconsistent commission calculations across platforms

Proposed solution

• Add an option to include sales/pass-through taxes in the commissionable amount on owner statements, so commissions are calculated on the full booking amount including tax

Unlock

• Consistent commission calculations across all platforms
• Fair commission revenue on Booking.com bookings
