it is related to the reservation value
Total reservation price $938.38
commissionable amount $ 781.20
Commission and charges $ 117.18
Bank Charge (2.4%) $22.52
and in the breakdown of the numbers
4 x $195.30 = $781.20
Tax 14% = $109.37
City Tax 1% = $7.81
Cleaning fee = $40
Total room price = $938.38
my questions as follows:-
1- how much i am going to receive in my account? is it $781.20 or $938.38?
2- why i am eligible for paying tax as i am not professional company, i am only individal?
3- booking.com will pay the taxes onmy behalf?
4- the reservation date is checkin 29-06 till 3-07? when am i going to receive the money? in august?
thanking you and looking forward for your prompt reply and sorry for my long msg.
thank you Ailyn for your prompt respond and explanation, i understand all your concerns and i am already hosting my unit on airbnb as well and i can see from my small experience that booking.com is more complicated than airbnb, may be becuase it is too detailed and for beginner it is difficult to be done alone. on the other side i received my first reservation with airbnb in just few days are listing my unit.
i already checked all your points and i hope it will work.
thanks alot for your reply, please advise
