Overview

To address the complex tiered city-tax requirements common in many European markets—such as German municipalities where the tax is calculated across multiple tiers—the Property Connector now supports step-based city-tax configuration.


This flexibility allows revenue managers to accurately model multi-level city taxes and ensures that pricing sent to distribution channels always reflects the correct stepped tax structure.
