The Tourist tax setting holds a written instruction that tells the
assistant how to calculate the tourist (city) tax for each booking at a
property. Superhost can draft it for you from your property’s location using
AI — you then review and edit it freely. You remain responsible for the
figures.
You’ll find it in the property settings, under Tourist tax.
What you see
At the top, the Location box shows the city, region, and country taken from
the property’s address. The jurisdiction is read from there, not edited on this
screen — if it’s wrong or missing, tap Edit address to fix it on the
property’s info page.
The Tax instruction field holds the actual brief. Next to its label, a
small status tag tells you where the instruction stands:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|
| Not set | No instruction has been created yet. |
| Generating… | The AI is researching your local tax rules. |
| AI-generated | The current text was drafted by AI and not yet edited. |
| Edited by you | You’ve changed the AI draft and saved it. |
Generate the instruction
Confirm the location
Make sure the Location box shows the right city and country. If no
address is set, the AI has no jurisdiction to research and the generate
button stays disabled.
Optionally set Category and Currency
Category is optional — fill it in only where local tariffs vary by
official classification (for example a star rating). Currency is the
currency the tax is charged in, e.g. EUR.
Generate with AI
Tap Generate brief with AI (it reads Regenerate with AI once an
instruction already exists). The status switches to Generating… and the
app researches your local tax rules. This can take a few minutes — you can
leave the page and it keeps running.
If the property has no address yet, you’ll see a prompt to set it first so
the AI knows which jurisdiction to research. Add the address on the property
info page, then come back.
Edit and save
When generation finishes, the drafted instruction appears in Tax
instruction and any Sources the AI used are listed below as links you can
open to check its work.
Read it through, edit the text as needed (rates, taxable base, age bands, caps,
exemptions, and how it’s remitted), then tap Save. The status becomes
Edited by you and you’ll see a Saved confirmation.
The Save button is only available once an instruction exists. If you
haven’t generated one yet, the screen reminds you to Generate a brief first
to enable editing.
The instruction is AI-drafted from public sources. Always verify the rates
and rules against your local authority — you remain responsible for the
amounts charged to guests.
