Holiday And Tax

Holiday Management​

The Holiday Management module allows you to maintain a centralized list of holidays for your property. Each holiday includes details such as the holiday name, date, holiday type, and an optional description, making it easy to organize important dates in one place.

Important: Simply creating a holiday does not change room prices. A holiday only affects pricing when it is referenced in a Rule-Based Pricing rule.

Example:

  • You create a holiday named Diwali on 12 November.
  • No Rule-Based Pricing rule exists → Room prices remain unchanged.

You create a pricing rule in Ruled Based Pricing with this condition: Holiday and Tax

  • Condition: Is Holiday? = True
  • Adjustment: +25%
  • On Diwali, BluEarn PMS automatically increases room rates by 25% according to the rule.

This approach gives you complete flexibility, allowing holidays to influence pricing only when you explicitly include them in your pricing strategy.

Tax Management​

The Tax module enables you to configure taxes that are applied to bookings, room charges, and other billable services. BluEarn PMS provides predefined tax templates to simplify tax setup while also allowing you to create custom taxes based on your property's requirements.

When creating a tax, you can configure:

  • Tax Name
  • Tax Type
  • Tax Value (Percentage or Fixed Amount)
  • Apply On (Room Charges, Services, etc.)
  • Calculation Mode (Inclusive or Exclusive)
  • Charge Unit
  • Tax Group
  • Effective From and Effective To dates

Predefined Tax Templates

BluEarn PMS includes commonly used tax templates to reduce manual configuration. You can use these templates directly or create additional tax rules that match your property's taxation requirements.

Calculation Modes​

Inclusive Tax – The tax amount is already included in the displayed room price.

Exclusive Tax – The tax amount is added separately to the room price during billing.

Example

If the room price is ₹5,000 and GST is 12%:

Inclusive: Guest sees ₹5,000, where the tax is included within that amount.

Exclusive: Guest sees ₹5,000 + ₹600 GST = ₹5,600.

Note: The configured effective dates ensure taxes are applied only during their valid period.
