Document background
The Hotel Invoice is a fundamental document in the hospitality industry, serving as an official record of charges and services provided during a guest's stay. In Hong Kong, this document must comply with specific regulatory requirements, including the Hotel and Guesthouse Accommodation Ordinance and the Inland Revenue Ordinance. It typically includes detailed information about the accommodation, additional services, applicable taxes, and payment terms. The invoice serves multiple purposes: it acts as a legal receipt for the guest, a tax document for both parties, and an internal record for the hotel's accounting system. This document is particularly important in Hong Kong's bustling tourism and business sectors, where proper documentation is essential for both local and international guests, especially for business travelers who need detailed records for expense claims.
