About this task

Verify that you have the Lodging tax entitlement enabled on your account.
Steps

Tip
Some jurisdictions refer to this tax as a Hospitality tax, so you may need to enable collection in jurisdictions under the Hospitality tax type (Where you collect tax) in addition to Lodging jurisdictions. If so, then ensure that the Hospitality tab is available.
