Support more types of taxes WITH "long stay exemption" for direct bookings
Support more types of taxes WITH "long stay exemption" for direct bookings and all other platforms, especially Occupancy Tax/ City tax / Tourist tax.
Because, the governmental rule can be that this occupancy tax is valid up until a certain number of nights (in this case 30 nights). So, it must not be shown when a guest books for 31 nights.
Hostfully only has the option Ignore tax charge for over applied to Rental and Cleaning fee taxes, not Occupancy tax.
Long term stay exemption from Fees & Policies tab only applies to Airbnb, not Direct Booking.
However, we need to ignore Occupancy tax for stays above 30 nights for Direct Booking due to reason above.

* In UAE, we need to collect Tourism Dirham for the first 30 nights of long-term booking regardless of how many days it is, which should be flat amount per night (AED 10 per night). But the setting in HF is not supported that yet.
* If I set it under Fees & Policies and have “long term stay exemption” is 30, this means when guest book a reservation beyond 30 nights, no tax will be collected for Tourism Dirham.
* If I choose "ignore tax charge for over 30 days" in Property Main setting, it does not work for Airbnb channel and for bookings beyond 30 nights as above.
So it will be more helpful if we can set this up in Hostfully to cover our expenses and this is critical demand.
