Rate Type Taxes override the Tax on the Category and can be setup on a Standalone Rate Type, Derived Rate Type or Property Rate Type Rule.
Alternate Taxes and are only available on Stand Alone Rate Types.
Derived Rates will use the tax setup on the Category.
Inclusive Package Components on a Rate Type will use any Alternate Tax setup instead of the Tax setup on the Sundry Charge.

Percentage Taxes must be setup with an Inclusive Divisor to be used as a Rate Type Inclusive Tax.
In the below example the Rate Amount is $100 and the Tax Amount is 10%.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1st January 2022 | Accommodation (1-Jan-2022) | $100 | |
