Taxable Revenue 

The total taxable charges associated with the booking (rent and fees) charged by you. If rent is taxable, but a fee isn’t taxable, then it will contain only the taxable rental amount. If the fees are marked as taxable, then this will be the sum of rent plus those taxable fees. This column includes the rental amount, additional guest fee, and user-defined fees marked as taxable. It doesn’t include guest products such as Property Damage Protection or damage deposit.  

This section will include nothing if the tax is marked as included in amount, I do not collect tax, or if your tax settings page shows that we’re collecting and remitting taxes on the bookings for your rental property at pre-defined rates. 

Non-Taxable Revenue 

The total non-taxable charges associated with the booking (rent and fees) charged by you. If you don’t define tax, or if there are fees not marked as taxable, the sum of those amounts appears in this column. This section includes user-defined fees not marked as taxable, damage deposit, rental amount, and additional guest fee if the tax is marked included in amount or I do not collect tax. This section doesn’t include guest products such as property damage protection. 

Guest Payment

Payment-specific records for each payment and refund. Each transaction will have its own row. Rent payments will be positive and list the amount the guest paid on that payment record. If the guest makes one payment in full it will equal Taxable Revenue + Non-Taxable Revenue + Tax + Service Fee. 

Refund payments will be negative, with no revenue listed, and the amount shown is paid to the guest. 

Your Revenue 

The amount the guest paid for the rental minus the Service Fee. 

Payable To You 

The amount received as a final amount owed to the owner with all processing fees taken out. If you require a refundable damage deposit, the amount is included in this column. Refundable damage deposits are held in escrow by your payment provider at the time of payment. If the damage deposit is refunded, the deduction will show as a separate transaction in the payment report.

Commission 

The amount charged by the brand when a booking is made through our website. Commission only applies to pay-per-booking listings. The commission for the entire booking is captured on and deducted from the first payment. Commission is refunded in the event of a cancellation with a full refund or when commission is overcharged on an extra payment added as the refundable damage deposit (RDD). 

VAT on Commission 

The Value Added Tax (VAT) that we pay on the pay-per-booking commission we charge in the EU. This is paid by the owner as a deduction from their booking. 

Payment Processing Fee 

The amount paid to our payment provider to process a credit card payment. 

Deposit Amount 

The amount directly deposited to your account minus the Payment Processing Fee and Service Fee. If you require a refundable damage deposit, it will be included in this column. Refundable damage deposits are held in escrow by your payment provider at the time of payment. If the damage deposit is refunded, the deduction will show as a separate transaction in the payment report. If you claim damage against the damage deposit, those funds will be deposited to your account.

Refundable Deposit The original refundable damage deposit amount paid by the guest on the transaction. 

Payout
