Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions hotel owners, B&B operators and guest house proprietors ask about specialist accounting for the sector.
How is room revenue VAT treated?
Accommodation is standard-rated at 20%. For continuous stays over 28 days, VAT is not charged on accommodation from day 29 onwards. Food and drink served on premises remains standard-rated throughout.
How are OTA commissions accounted for?
Commissions from Booking.com, Expedia and other platforms are recorded as distribution costs. They must be reconciled against booking data from your property management system to ensure accuracy.
How are advance bookings recorded?
Deposits and prepayments received before guests arrive are held as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. Revenue is recognised when the guest stays and the accommodation service is delivered.
What KPIs should hotels track?
Revenue per available room, average daily rate and occupancy percentage are the core metrics. Departmental margins for rooms, food and beverage, events and other services reveal where profit is strongest.
How is private use split for B&Bs?
Owners living on B&B premises must separate private and business use of utilities, food and living space. Only the business proportion of shared costs is deductible against taxable profits.
Can ABM support hotels nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves hotels and B&Bs across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist accounting to guest houses, boutique hotels and multi-property groups.
