***STEP 1:***First you need to go to **SETUP > PAYMENTS > TAXES**.

   
***STEP 2:***Click on **NEW** button.

   
***STEP 3:***Fill in the details of your new tax:

   
- **Tax name** - name of the tax;

- **Tax description -**add some details regarding Tax description ;

- **Amount -** choose the amount to be charged;

- **Unit -** choose the amount to be charged in percentage or currency;

- **Frequency -** Choose if the amount to be charged will be Per Room or Per Person:

  
If you select any of the "Per person" options you will find a new field for "**Settings tax per person":**

   
- ### In this area, the Hotel can setup a  Touristic Tax:

   
- **Min. Children Age -** minimum age set to charge.

- There is an "Don't charge" option available.

 
- In the example above Children over 3 years old will be charged 1 (unit) as currency.

  
- **Max. Amount Per Person -**the hotel can set the maximum value to charge per person

- The client will never be charged over the maximum value set.

 
- The Max. Amount Per Person is always set as currency unit.

 
- In the example above: if the guest stays for 10 nights, he will be charged 7 instead of 10, because the "max. Amount per person" is 7 and "Amount" is 1.

  
***STEP 4:***Make sure you save all information entered by clicking on .
