# How to apply VAT Rates to food and accommodation in Spoonbill PMS.

**VAT (Value Added Tax) rates** are the percentages of tax applied to goods and services. In hotels, VAT usually applies separately to different categories, such as **Accommodation** and **Food & Beverage**.

- **Food & Beverage VAT** → The tax applied to meals, drinks, or catering services.

If the VAT for accommodation is 6% and 20% VAT for food:

- A €100 room will include €6 VAT.
- A €50 dinner will include €10 VAT.
