Hotels Invoice FAQs

Get hotel-specific billing help for room nights, group blocks, resort fees, occupancy tax, event services, and incidentals. Line items, markups, terms, clear answers.

How do I bill a group block on one invoice?

Use the signed contract. Show rooms picked up, rooms not used, and attrition per terms. Example: “20 rooms @ $149, 3 unused @ 80% attrition = $357.60.”

How should I handle occupancy tax, tourism assessments, and resort fees?

Break them out. Tax the room rate per local rules, then list resort fee separately with its tax if applicable. Example: “Room $179; Resort Fee $25; Occupancy Tax 14% on room + fee.”

What’s the right way to post incidentals and deposits?

Preauthorize a deposit, then convert to charges at checkout. Itemize incidentals by type. Example: “Minibar $18, Parking $30, Pet Fee $50; Deposit applied −$100.”

How do I charge for no-shows or late cancellations?

Follow your cancellation policy and document the cutoff time. List the fee as its own line and apply tax only if required. Example: “No-show Fee equal to 1 night $189; Tax per city rule.”

What should an event venue invoice include?

Include room rental, A/V, staffing, service charge, and tax. Call out gratuities separately if the guest chose to tip. Example: “Ballroom Rental $1,200; A/V Package $450; Service Charge 23% $379; Sales Tax 8.25%.”

Can I split charges so the company pays rooms and the guest pays extras?

Yes. Use split folios: Folio A to the company, Folio B to the guest. Example: “Folio A: 3 nights @ $159; Folio B: Room Service $28, Movie $9.99.”

How do OTAs, travel agents, and virtual cards affect payment posting?

Bill the VCC or net rate as instructed, not the guest’s card. Note the commission or merchant-of-record in remarks. Example: “Expedia VCC $542.13; Net rate includes 15% commission.”

When do extended-stay guests stop paying hotel occupancy tax?

Many states exempt stays after a set night threshold. Rules vary—check local rules. Example: “Nights 1–29 taxed; Nights 30–45 tax-exempt; Weekly Rate $700.”
