Taxes vs Booking fees
You can define a tax as a Government tax which is normally used for regular sales tax, state tax, or other taxes required by the government in your area. You can also define a tax as a Booking Fee which is normally used for transaction fees, entry fees, or any other fees you want to charge on your services.
Taxes & Xero
Defining the tax allows you to correctly track it when syncing with Xero to ensure the accuracy of tax reconciliation. A tax set as a Government tax will show as a normal tax in Xero. A tax set as a Booking Fee will show as an additional line item in Xero.
