The hospitality and tourism sectors are firmly inside the VAT regime. Hotels charge VAT on room tariffs and most services supplied to guests, tour operators charge on packaged services, and each business must file the monthly return, remit output tax and reconcile its input claims on everything from linen to tour coaches. A distinctive feature for tourism is foreign currency sales. Services supplied and billed in convertible foreign currency under the approved incentives can receive special VAT treatment, which makes the invoicing format itself a tax document. The foreign exchange receipt, the booking record and the invoices must hang together, because the department verifies claims against the currency actually received and banked. Because hospitality is seasonal, cash flow planning must anticipate the slow months when output is thin and the VAT account is red. Keep the purchase register current through the peak so the quiet season carries credit to absorb the smaller bills. The firms that treat the VAT file as a running business document, updated weekly rather than monthly, never fight a February panic over a December return they had forgotten to file.
