German tax settings
Updated over a year ago

Little Hotelier has introduced two new features; "tax rate types" and "tax identifiers" to support the tax requirements in Germany


Tax rate type

Users can add a "tax rate type" to the taxes configured in Little Hotelier.

There are three rate options available:

  • Default – for taxes set at the standard sales tax rate of 19%

  • Reduced – for taxes set at the reduced sales tax rate of 7%

  • Special – for other taxes, such as a municipality tax

To access the "tax rate type" field:

  1. Select the "Setup" page

  2. In "Currency and Location Settings", click "Set up Taxes"

  3. Above each tax name is an "Edit" button, clicking it will allow you to add a tax rate type.

  4. Once a tax rate type is selected click "Save".

The 'Tax rate type' field on the 'Setup taxes' page.


Tax identifiers

German properties must complete three mandatory tax identifier fields to comply with KassenSichV requirements:

  1. National identification number (Steuernummer)

  2. Value-added tax number (Umsatzsteur-Identifkationsnummer)

  3. Business identification number (Wirtschaftsidentifikationsnummer) numbers are mandatory for compliance with KassenSichV requirements.

To access the tax identifier fields:

  1. Select the "Setup" page

  2. In "Currency and Location Settings", click "Set up Taxes"

  3. Click the "Settings" tab

  4. Once all three numbers are entered click "Save".
