I don't know about Turkish VAT, but in UK, it's the VAT rate when the payment is received/invoiced that is relevant not the date the holiday is taken. So if guest pays in advance, they pay the reduced/nil rate. that would be great and also fair however.. ' Each month the owner (or agent) will have ...

Hi Hobbo We were concerned this was going to happen in the UK as lowering of the VAT threshold was being suggested. We don't actually spend a great deal where we could recover VAT spent so it would be a big problem for us. I assume this is going to impact all of your local competition, do you track...

Very worrying info Hobbo. Any ideas what the missing 568 properties had in common that caused them to be hidden by your cookies ? I can't say for 100% but I can't remember seeing a listing that wasn't a 'Book online with Payment Protection' . I have just counted these and the number is not exactly ...
