The Tax table comes complete with CCTE. No changes to the default settings should be made, unless advised by Travelport. See Commission on Taxes in CCTE Consultant User Guide.
Adding YQ tax to accommodate Commission on Taxes
MH is the latest carrier to overhaul its commission structure to begin offering commission on its Fuel & Insurance Surcharge. Effective from 10 January 2011, Malaysia Airlines' 'YQ' surcharge/tax will be fully commissionable at the rate of 6%, across all its Retail and Wholesale fares.
Commission on taxes will be populated based on Supplier Code, Sales Code and Tax Code. These three fields will be checked against the rows in the Maintain taxes table and the corresponding row will need to be populated.
While creating ticket requisition the commission percentage will be extracted from this table, based on the information that has been added – see YQ tax examples in screen above.
The Tax table will manage the commissions being offered by suppliers on taxes within this table.
By clicking on New button it is possible to setup commission on taxes by inputting values for Code, Name, Sales Code, GST Type, Commission on Tax and Supplier Paying Commission on Tax. If the same commission applies for more than one Supplier, these can be added with a comma separating each, eg. TG, QF, SQ. If a Supplier is paying a different commission amount a new line can be created eg, MH.
If a record already exists with the same Code, Sales Code, commission on Tax and Supplier Paying Commission on Tax then a message will appear saying that “A record with the same Code, Sales Code, Commission on Tax and Supplier exist, Please check.”
Once the commission on Taxes has been setup correctly and a Ticket requisition is created (Manually or downloaded) under Taxes section commission will be populated from the maintain taxes screen based on Code, Supplier and Sales Code supplied.
Supplier Tables – Flight also require updating to show Sales code of International.
Note: Irrespective of whether the ticket requisition (Confirmed or Unconfirmed) is created manually or on download the commission percentage is populated based on Supplier, Sales Code and Tax Code.
Sales code can be amended if required for Domestic tickets.
OB Tax
OB fee is an automated way for Travel Agents to collect Carrier “Ticketing Fees” imposed by participating Airlines. It is at the discretion of each carrier whether to impose these charges.
The total of all the OB fees on a ticket will be downloaded as a separate tax with Tax Code ‘OB’.
Note: It is only applicable to E-tickets.
