Occupancy, seasonal staff, reservations, commissions… We help you invest each stay in profitability.

—Frequently asked questions
These are the most frequently asked questions we are asked from the hotel and tourism sector
What VAT should I apply to accommodation and additional hotel services?
The accommodation service in hotel establishments is generally taxed at the reduced rate of 10% VAT. However, certain additional services may be treated differently depending on their nature and how they are marketed. We review your offer to correctly apply VAT to each service.
How are the commissions charged by Booking, Expedia and other platforms counted?
Booking platforms usually deduct their commissions from the amounts they subsequently transfer to the accommodation. It is important to separately account for the income corresponding to the reservation and the commission expense, in addition to reviewing the VAT applicable when the platform invoices from another country. We help you reconcile reserves, charges and commissions so that the accounting correctly reflects each operation.
How can I manage hiring when my activity is very seasonal?
Seasonality means that personnel needs change considerably throughout the year. Depending on how these periods of activity are repeated and the functions of the worker, there may be modalities such as the fixed-discontinuous contract or other contracting formulas. We analyse the real needs of your establishment to organize the workforce and correctly use each contractual modality.
