2 Overview

In 2012, IATA will introduce a new tax code format to include combinations of alphanumeric values in

addition to the current alpha/alpha codes. Industry mandated alphanumeric taxes impact all products

and services that utilize Sabre air pricing, ticketing and fulfilment solutions and processes.

The industry expects to use up the remaining alpha/alpha codes sometime in 2012. Once the remaining

alpha/alpha codes have depleted then the new alphanumeric tax codes will be assigned per IATA

Passenger Services Resolution 728 Para 4.2.1 Format for Code Assignment.

Sabre Travel Network pricing, ticketing and tax related functional changes are targeted for a global

release on June 5, 2012. It is not know when the first alphanumeric codes will be assigned; therefore

these functional changes may not be immediately evident upon implementation.

The format of the new “alphanumeric” tax codes will be as follows:

1st Character = Alpha (A-Z)

2nd Character = Numeric (0-9)

For example:-

A9, B0, Z1

These changes extend to the following ticketing products.

Ticket Issuance

Automated Refund & Exchanges

Invoice & Itinerary

IUR

Changes will be made to facilitate the entry, storage and processing of “alphanumeric” codes in string

entries, masks, printed output and any associated displays.

Similarly, these changes will be extended to all data related products such as MDRs and IURs.

Please note that any applications/processes consuming ticketing data must ensure that provision has

been made to consume and process alphanumeric codes.


3 XT Tax Breakdown

The format of the “XT Tax Breakdown” will remain unchanged with the introduction of

alphanumeric taxes, fees and charges (TFCs).

The XT Breakdown is present in the IUR for all transactions which have more than 3 taxes. The XT

Breakdown is also present on tickets and supporting documents for those carriers that do not

currently accept a tax breakdown.

When reading an XT breakdown please note that taxes with alpha/alpha and alphanumeric codes

will be strung together. In order to read the XT breakdown and separate each tax out individually,

always assume that the first character of a tax value is a “numeric” and that the penultimate

character in a tax value will always be an “alpha” and that the final character of the tax value will be

another “alpha” or a “numeric”.

Please refer to the following example which depicts multiple taxes in an XT Breakdown and a

colour-coded depiction of where each tax starts and finishes.

5.8 IUR

Please ensure that all computer systems are able to consume and process alphanumeric tax codes

present in the IUR.

The IUR sections containing Taxes, fees and charges (TFC) are as follows :-

M2 – Passenger Ticket Data Record

M6 – Passenger Fare Calculation Data Record

MB – Miscellaneous Charge Order Record (MCO)

MC – Pre-paid Ticket Advice Record

MD – Tour Order Record

MG – Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD)

5.8.1 M6 – Passenger Fare Calculation Data Record

Please pay special attention to the taxes present in the “M6 – Passenger Fare Calculation Data

Record”.

When a ticket contains more than 3 taxes, the “IU2ID3” field will contain the “XT” tax code. The

remaining taxes from “Tax 3” onwards will be present in the “XT Breakdown” in the “IU6FC12”

field.

When extracting the additional taxes from the XT breakdown please note that taxes with

alpha/alpha and alphanumeric codes will be strung together. In order to read the XT breakdown

and separate each tax out individually, always assume that the first character of a tax value is a

“numeric” and that the penultimate character in a tax value will always be an “alpha” and that

the final character of the tax value will be another “alpha” or a “numeric”.

Please refer to the following example which depicts multiple taxes in an XT Breakdown and a

colour-coded depiction of where each tax starts and finishes.
