Do you pay tax on a pure points booking

Hi

I have searched on this and found varying replies. I have also emailed Hyatt and had multiple unclear responses!

Would be grateful if someone could help

I have a pure 12000 per night booking for 5 nights in Flushing and the confirmation says 14.75% tax per night

1. Does this tax have to be paid and if so
2. What is the 14.75% applies against? the room is currently $450 per night.

Many thanks any help
