Tax Information    Updated September 06, 2023

There are several resources available for travel agents looking for tax information.  When travel agents believe that their GDS is not pricing taxes correctly or if there is an uncommon tax situation that needs to be researched, travel agents may use the resources below to find answers to their questions.

The Passenger Air Tariff (PAT)

Published jointly by IATA and SITA and using authoritative data sources, PAT supplies industry and carrier rules and fares information to the airline, agent, and training industry worldwide.

The PAT has a reference to The Ticket Tax Box Services (TTBS) as the source for information regarding taxes.

Please note: Travel agencies may have to have a membership to access the Passenger Air Tariff. Please check with your agency Administrator for details.
