Tax Remittance Report

Tax remittance refers to the sending or transferring of collected or withheld taxes (such as sales tax) to the appropriate tax authority. Your Property will need to determine the amount due, verify supporting records, and submit payments to tax authorities. Skyware has multiple reports which support you in this process, (such as the Tax Detail or Tax Exempt Reports). This now includes the Tax Remittance Report (allowing payment information and accounting records to remain aligned), which calculates and shows the amount that should be submitted in each tax bracket category. The Tax Remittance Report breaks down the tax remittance data for your Property into City Tax, County Tax, State Tax, Federal Tax, and Other Tax, and displays the information by Department.

Note: The Tax Remittance Report screen has options for reporting on Hotel postings, A/R postings, POS postings and Condo postings. By default the box for Hotel postings will be checked, but selecting any other postings option will automatically un-check the Hotel postings option - only one can be selected at a time.

 

The Tax Remittance command is found in the Room Reports section of the Reports Menu.

 

 

 

The Reports Menu can be accessed by clicking the Reports icon on the Action Bar:

Tax Remittance Report screen example

 

Show All Hotels: This box may be checked or unchecked. By default it is unchecked, meaning the generated report will show information ONLY for the current Property. For this report, you may choose to show the information from ALL your Properties within Skyware on one report, rather than generating separate reports for each Property.

Postings Type: By default the box for Hotel postings will be checked. Selecting any other postings option will automatically un-check the Hotel postings option - only one can be selected at a time.

 

Report Date: You will need to specify the Date Range for the Report. By default one day of data, for today's system date, will be displayed.

Start: Click anywhere in the field to open the calendar and select the Date you wish to have the Reporting begin for the report. By default the Date selected is the current (system) date.

To: Click anywhere in the field to open the calendar and select the Date you wish to have the Reporting end for the report. By default the Date selected is the current (system) date.

 

Report Options: You may choose to report on additional data for the Tax Remittance report. By default this is NOT included on the generated report.

Include zero balance posting types: This box may be checked or unchecked. By default it is unchecked. If checked, the report will also include this information.

Include non-revenue posting types: This box may be checked or unchecked. By default it is unchecked. If checked, the report will also include this information.

 

When finished, click the button Run Report.

By default, the report is generated in PDF form and opens in a separate browser window. From there you can select to save or print the report, among other options. You can, instead, check the Generate report to excel checkbox to generate the report in HTML for downloading to Excel instead of PDF.

NOTE: The generated report appears as a pop-up window through your browser. If your browser is set to block pop-ups, you may receive a warning banner at the top of the browser. Click this banner and select to allow pop-ups so that you can view the report.
