Currently when a Voucher or Gift offer has been redeemed the taxes that the guest is responsible for are based on the value of the experience. In some cases, taxes must be based on the value of the purchase price of the Voucher or Gift offer. In this case, you will need to adjust your taxes and fee to accommodate this, by using our Tax Promotional Value toggle. Below are examples of having this feature enabled or disabled.
Note: You will want to read over how to set up Vouchers and Gift Offers before setting your Tax Preferences.
What's covered in this article:
Tax promotional value with a Voucher
Tax promotional value on Gift offer when restrictions are honored
Tax promotional value on Gift offer where restrictions are not honored
Tax promotional value with Gift offer and gift not 100% utilized
Tax promotional value with a Voucher:
In this example we are assuming the following:
Experience Price = $200
Booking Fee = 3%
Sales tax = 10%
Park fee = $10 per booking
Voucher: Promotional Price = $150 and Purchases Price = $100
| Promotional Value Enabled | Promotional Value Disabled |
|
For this Voucher sales tax is assessed on the total for the Experience ($200.00) and the Booking Fee is assessed on the amount after the voucher was applied ($50.00). |
For this Voucher, sales tax is assessed on the total booking amount after the Promotional Discount (Promotional Price minus Purchases Price: $50.00) was applied ($150.00). The booking fee is assessed after the rest of the Voucher was taken off ($50.00). |
Tax promotional value on Gift offer when restrictions are honored:
In this example we are assuming the following:
Experience Price = $200
Booking Fee = 3%
Sales tax = 10%
Park fee = $10 per booking
Gift Value = $150 and Purchases Price= $100
| Promotional Value Enable | Promotional Value Disable |
|
This gift code was within the restrictions of the Gift offer, giving the customer the full Gift Value ($150.00). Sales tax is assessed on the total for the Experience ($200.00) and the Booking Fee is assessed on the amount after the gift was applied ($50.00). |
This gift code was used within restrictions of the Gift offer, giving the customer the Full Value of the Gift offer as a Promotional Discount (Promotional Price minus Purchases Price: $50.00) was applied. The rest of the Gift Offer ($100.00) was taken off. Sales tax is assessed on the total for the Experience after the promotional discount ($150.00) and the Booking Fee is assessed on the amount after the gift was fully applied ($50.00). |
Tax promotional value on Gift offer where restrictions are not honored:
In this example we are assuming the following:
Experience Price = $200
Booking Fee = 3%
Sales tax = 10%
Park fee = $10 per booking
Gift Value = $150 and Purchases Price= $100
| Promotional Value Enable | Promotional Value Disable |
|
This gift code was used outside the restrictions of the Gift offer, giving the customer the Purchase Price ($100.00). Sales tax is assessed on the total for the Experience ($200.00) and the Booking Fee is assessed on the amount after the gift was applied ($100.00).
|
This gift code was used outside the restrictions of the Gift offer, giving the customer the Purchase Price ($100.00). Sales tax is assessed on the total for the Experience ($200.00) and the Booking Fee is assessed on the amount after the gift was applied ($100.00).
|
Note: When restrictions are not honored, regardless of whether the Tax Promotional Value is enabled or disabled, the gift value will be assessed the same. This is because the full purchase price is being used to cover some of the balance, and no promotional value is being given/used.
Tax promotional value with Gift offer and gift, not 100% utilized:
In this example we are assuming the following:
Experience Price = $50
Booking Fee = 3%
Sales tax = 10%
Park fee = $10 per booking
Gift Value = $150 and Purchases Price= $100
| Promotional Value Enabled | Promotional Value Disabled |
|
This gift code, giving the customer the Full Value of the Gift offer ($65.00) was applied. Sales tax is assessed on the total for the Experience ($50). |
This gift code was used, giving the customer the Full Value of the Gift offer as a Promotional Discount (Promotional Price minus Purchases Price: $50.00) was applied. The rest of the Gift Offer ($10.00) was taken off. Sales tax and Booking fees are assessed on the total for the Experience after the promotional discount ($0). |
Note: When a gift code covers the whole balance, no balance due line will show and you will be able to click the "Reserve" button at the bottom of the checkout.
