Rounding differences between Vrbo and innRoad

You may see nightly 1-cent differences in tax calculations between innRoad and Vrbo due to rounding differences on percent taxes.  

The result will be in favor of the client in the sense that if there is a 2-cent difference, it will be the guest paying 2 cents more than innRoad would have calculated. 

The rounding difference will not occur in every case, and it will only occur with percent taxes. 

The folio will be correct, and it will match with what Vrbo expects because we adjust taxes to match what Vrbo sends us. 

Example: 

$0.01 Rounding Difference between Vrbo and innRoad

Vrbo

Adds the taxes up and then rounds to 2 decimal places:

innRoad

Rounds each tax to 2 decimal places while adding them up, total is then already 2 decimal places:

If clients add a percent tax to one HomeAway fee, it will apply to all Vrbo fees. Vrbo does not allow innRoad to create a percent tax that only applies to one single fee. Percent taxes either have to apply to all Vrbo fees or no HomeAway fees. 

• When creating a new percent tax, the innRoad client will see a popup with a warning that informs them of Vrbo's percent tax behavior:
