Invoices
I don't, but I know many do, especially if they use specialist software. I just request the money by email and send an acknowledge by way of a receipt by email. I mainly let to individuals who have no need of a formal invoice and only issue them if they pay via Paypal or it is a business let. I've no doubt some would consider it unprofessional not to issue one but I've very rarely been asked for one.

I have never been asked for or issued one - but we don't do business lets.

Invoices only if they use PayPal to pay and everyone gets a booking confirmation letter/email.
The booking form is a bit like an invoice as it states how much is owed, what it's for, how to pay it and refers to the t&c.
Occasionally we've been asked for a receipt so guests can claim from their employer and then I've essentially sent the confirmation with 'receipt' in the heading.

Re: Invoices
Check if there's anything specific you're required to do to comply with accounting records in your country.Whatever wrote:Another newby question I'm afraid. Do you issue invoices to each person who rents your accommodation or just when they are requested? Thanks.
I sometimes do invoices but as a chambre d'hôte, mostly only invoice / receipts on departure.
