What a VAT invoice must include
Unique invoice number. Date of issue. Supplier name, address, and VAT registration number. Customer name and address. Description of services. Net amount, VAT amount, and total. Tax point (the date the service was supplied).
Reduced-rate accommodation?
Accommodation in the UK is standard-rated (20%) for stays under 28 days. Stays over 28 consecutive days at the same property qualify for a reduced rate calculation — the value of the supply is reduced by 80% from the 29th day onwards. Specialist suppliers know this; check yours does.
Monthly consolidated invoicing
For repeat corporate accounts, monthly consolidated invoices (covering all bookings that completed in the month) cut admin time massively. Most accommodation suppliers can do this — ask.
