What it does
Built for complexity
Travel taxes are not simple. Stacked charges, age exemptions, seasonal rates, hotel category tiers - Local Fees handles all of it.
Multi-layered charges
When three taxes apply to one booking
A New York City hotel booking can attract a state tax, a city tax and a tourism improvement levy - all stacked on a single reservation. Local Fees calculates each one independently, shows them itemised, and presents the combined total.
Government, state, municipality and hotel-direct charges all supported
Multi-tax stacking with individual legislation cited for each
Clerk disclosure written out automatically per booking

AI with human oversight
AI researches. Humans decide.
AI hallucinations in tax data could mean overcharging customers or under-disclosing - both CMA compliance risks. Every AI-generated rule enters a human review queue and nothing goes live until it has been approved. The platform health score reflects the quality and completeness of your live data in real time.
