The "Display total price" toggle should just be deemed misleading all together. It's explicit that it includes fees and not taxes, but is withholding tax info really the total price? No.
- brookst 3y agoPresumably they’ll add a second toggle for “show total cost including all fees and taxes”, which will give every cent you’re going to pay, except special surcharges.

- tehwebguy 3y agoSomething I haven’t considered until today is that the resort fee is probably a tax avoidance scam as well.
- CPLX 3y agoMaybe it was, or in some jurisdictions, but I think for the most part it's required to be taxed at the same rate. I had assumed that it was a way to avoid paying the parent/franchising company, or paying commission on it to booking sites, which I think might be the case, especially the latter since they generally collect it on premises not through the booking engine.
