The SE Booking Pro Tax Addon extends SE Booking Pro with flexible tax calculation for your bookings. It supports a default tax rate, location-specific tax rates, and a custom tax label while integrating directly with the SE Booking Pro pricing system.
Get the Tax Addon
The Tax Addon is available from your SE Booking Pro customer account.
After completing your purchase, sign in to your account:
Open the Downloads section and download the latest SE Booking Pro Tax Addon package.
Install the Tax Addon
After downloading the ZIP file, install it from your WordPress dashboard.
- Log in to your WordPress admin area.
- Go to Plugins → Add New.
- Select Upload Plugin.
- Upload the downloaded Tax Addon ZIP file.
- Click Install Now.
- After installation, click Activate Plugin.
The SE Booking Pro plugin must already be installed and active for the Tax Addon to operate.
Activate Your License
After activating the Tax Addon, open:
SE Booking Pro → License
The Tax Addon appears under the Installed Addons section on the existing SE Booking Pro License page.
Enter your Tax Addon license key and click Activate.
After successful activation, the license section displays information such as:
- License status
- License key
- Expiration date
- Site usage
- Last validation
The Tax Addon requires an active license for its tax functionality to operate.
Tax Settings
Once the Tax Addon license is active, its settings are available through the existing SE Booking Pro settings area.
Go to:
SE Booking Pro → Settings
Open the Tax section.
Default Tax (%)
Enter the default tax percentage that should apply when a booking location does not have a specific tax rate configured.
For example:
Default Tax: 10%
Location Wise Tax
The Tax Addon uses your existing SE Booking Pro locations. Each available location is listed with its own tax field.
You can:
- Leave a location blank to use the default tax rate.
- Enter a specific percentage for a location to override the default rate.
- Use different tax rates for different booking locations.
This makes the addon useful when your business operates in locations with different tax requirements.
Tax Label
Enter the label you want customers to see for the tax amount.
Examples include Tax, GST, VAT, or Sales Tax.
If this field is left empty, the default label Tax is used.
How Tax Is Calculated
The Tax Addon integrates directly into the SE Booking Pro pricing pipeline.
The pricing order is:
- Base booking price
- Special pricing, when applicable
- Discount or coupon, when applicable
- Tax calculated on the applicable amount
- Final booking total
For example, if the applicable booking amount is $100 and a $10 discount is applied, the taxable amount becomes $90. With a 10% tax rate, the tax is $9 and the final total is $99.
Tax and Coupons
The Tax Addon works with the SE Booking Pro Coupon Addon when both are active.
When a coupon is applied, the tax is calculated using the discounted amount rather than the original booking amount.
This keeps the booking financial result consistent across the pricing, confirmation, and final booking stages.
How Tax Appears on the Frontend
After the customer reaches the confirmation stage, the Tax Addon can display a dedicated financial summary containing:
- Price – the applicable pre-tax booking amount.
- Tax – the calculated tax using the configured tax rate.
- Total – the final amount including tax.
The tax label shown in the booking interface follows the Tax Label configured in the Tax settings.
When a coupon is active, the displayed financial information reflects the coupon-adjusted amount and the resulting tax.
Booking Financial Information
Tax information is incorporated into the booking’s financial data so that the applicable tax rate, location, taxable amount, and tax amount remain associated with the booking’s financial result.
This allows the tax information to remain consistent across supported booking, administrative, REST, and email financial displays.
License and Tax Functionality
The Tax Addon uses its own license and is independent from the core SE Booking Pro license.
An active or temporarily valid license is required for the Tax Addon functionality to operate. If the Tax Addon license is inactive or invalid, its tax settings and booking tax functionality are disabled while the license management section remains available under SE Booking Pro → License.
Updating the Tax Addon
Tax Addon updates are managed independently from the main SE Booking Pro plugin.
When a new Tax Addon version is available and your license is valid, WordPress can display the available update in the Plugins screen.
Update the Tax Addon through the normal WordPress plugin update process. The Tax Addon uses its own product and update package, so updating it does not update or replace the SE Booking Pro core plugin.
Using the Tax Addon
Once the addon is installed, licensed, and configured, tax calculation is handled automatically as part of the booking pricing process.
You only need to maintain the tax configuration in the Tax settings section and keep the Tax Addon license active.
Requires SE Booking Pro.
