How does this affect your call accounting?
Your call accounting software collects data from your phone system, assigns a cost to these calls and posts this cost to your Property Management System (PMS). These calls may or may not be sent to the PMS with tax applied. If your system sends the calls to PMS with the tax applied, you will need to make changes to your configuration files to accommodate the reduced rate of GST. In many instances the call accounting software sends the calls without tax and the Property Management System applies the tax once the records are received. Please use the following changes to adjust the GST tax rate applied to you billable calls.Click on Configuration > Tax Information > Tax Definition from the top menu in the CMS software (shown below).
The Tax Information window (shown below) will be displayed. Change the Tax #2 amount from 6.00 to 5.00. Apply this change to each Tax Group tab you may have.
Save your changes by clicking on the Save and Exit button on the top left hand corner (indicated with red arrow below).
