How to get an invoice for the accommodation?

[Adam742]

Greetings,

right now we have two employees in Belgium (we are located in Slovakia), I paid for them with company MASTERCARD and got a receipt from airbnb.

Today our accountant told me that is not enough, we NEED an invoice. But I have no idea how to get one, should I ask the host? If he disagrees then what?

Is that even legal? Can Airbnb issue an invoice?

Thank you.

Hi @Adam742 

Yes, you need to ask the Host.

On each reservation there is an option to issue Invoice.

It is a 1 click thing, should  not be an issue for the host.

Good Luck

Thank you for your reply Roberta, but I cannot find it, can you guide me?

Thank you.

I am rather confused by @Roberta2 advice as I don't believe there is a function whereby hosts can print out an invoice for guests.

However there is a function @Adam742  whereby you can go into the booking confirmation and print this off which will act as an invoice for your accountant  (I am presuming you made and 'Airbnb at Work' account booking  so are managing the account it was booked under).

Thank you for your reply Helen,

But  I still do not understand, print what? 

Yes, I have made a Airbnb for work account, I have marked the trips like business trips.

@Helen3 

If you log in as a host, go to "reservations", click in one, scroll dow, under the payout, there is a VAT field, Invoice ** (and the last 4 numbers) and a link click to View.

If you click there, you can see / print and forward the invoice.

I have a business account "airbnb for work", I am admin of that. The trips are marked as businees trips, they are in the airbnb for work and dashboard and everything but I did not set a default company card. I have paid with a company card but in the dashboard it says the "payee" was the employee - me.

Could this be the issue?

Thanks for the link @Jessica-and-Henry0 

It's not clear from the @Adam742 post as to what the accountant is looking for.

For my business guests they normally need the booking confirmation because it shows the full amount paid. They may also need the guest VAT invoice you kindly linked to.

However the HOST VAT invoice won't work for them as it's neither addressed to them or shows the full amount they have paid.

[Adam742]

That is exactly what I need.

Thank you.

What you have linked to is  aVAT invoice for hosts @Roberta2  not something guests can use.

They need to use their booking confirmation, they receive when they book,  which is addressed to them and has the amount they paid on it.
