* Keep in mind that our rates do not include some expenses or fees that must be resolved by the hotel guest, such as resort fees, municipal taxes, parking, tips, etc. (TRANSLATED)
* The prices indicated next to the reservation correspond to the total price of the goods and services selected by the User, are expressed in euros, and include the corresponding taxes. (TRANSLATED)

I think this OTA rate in euro is all tax and fee inclusive (government tax = federal tax but not municpal tax?) but would like to get good opinions.

Thanks
yes, always the case in Europe.
Point that out in your claim and calculate the comparable pretax price for them. Every once in a while you get a bad agent who does not get the tax thing ... cancel, rebook and refile in that case.
