Mapping taxes by date range

Property managers need the ability to assign tax rates based on specific date ranges within Hostaway. Currently, applying the correct tax setup across different booking periods requires manual adjustments, which increases the risk of errors and makes it difficult to stay compliant with changing tax regulations.

Both Airbnb and Booking.com already support flexible, time-based tax configurations. Without similar functionality in Hostaway, direct booking prices can become less accurate compared to major channels, particularly in markets where tax rates vary by season or local regulation.

Requested Functionality:

• Ability to map taxes to specific date ranges (e.g. by season, regulation period, or government update)
• Automatic application of the correct tax rate based on the stay or booking date
• Support across multiple listings and locations

Benefits:

• Ensures accurate and competitive pricing on the direct booking engine
• Reduces manual work and the risk of human error
• Helps property managers stay compliant with evolving tax requirements
• Improves efficiency for professionals managing multiple listings across different markets

Why This Matters:

This feature is particularly important for property managers operating in markets with seasonal or frequently changing tax regulations. It would bring Hostaway in line with the capabilities already offered by major OTAs and make the platform significantly more practical for professional use.
