Tax Exempt Misc.
When the reservation template comes up please fill out the information in the correct spots. We use these fields for reports especially for accounting purposes. A lot of you are just leaving all of this on there and it’s confusing as to what is going on with the reservation.
If a guest is Individual Pay (Personal CC) please take off PO? & School CC? on the Audit Line – Leave Individual Pay
If a Guest says the school or SU is paying by PO then just leave PO on there take everything else off.
Same goes for School CC – Take everything else off, if they are Tax exempt do not charge the School CC, we need to be able to verify the Tax exempt certificate first. Put School CC on guest tile and make a note on the reservation(s) that “School CC is on Guest Tile” Once accounting has verified the Tax Exempt form they will charge the school CC (or I will)
And always please put the School or SU name on the Housekeeping line even if it’s an Individual Pay reservation. If they are not a part of a school just leave it blank – But please take off “Put School Name/SU HERE”
Make sure to put E in the Special Code if they are sending in a tax exempt form as well. Make sure to tell them we need an updated S-3 Tax Exempt form signed and dated within the past year to be accepted by us. Emailed to taxexempt@killington.com
Make sure to put correct Guarantee Codes on there as well.
T=Reserved (default but would be nice to have the proper code used)
R= Purchase Order
V=Visa
M=Mastercard
X-American Express
