# Set the tourist tax

> Let Superhost draft an AI tax instruction from your property's location, then review, edit, and save it.

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.              |

Next to the status, the screen shows a version such as **· v2**. It goes up by
one each time the instruction is regenerated or saved, so you can tell at a
glance whether you're looking at the latest revision.

## Generate the instruction

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  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.
</Note>

## 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.

<Tip>
  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**.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  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.
