The payable city tax is calculated by the hotel from the net price (without taxes), not sure how they calculate it on an award bookings but they do

I know that's the criterium for deciding if it's a taxable stay or not, my question was if it's charged on award stays.

In a suite, the BAR for the stay is eur 1.500, so actually I do care if it's charged...
