Based on Changes in the Estonian Value Added Tax Act, we will proceed with the system change on the 2nd of Jan 2025 on all items in 9% VAT, and we will change them to 13% VAT.
1. there would be change in the VAT rate setting from 9% to a new rate of 13%.
2. We will convert all open account items that include an item at the 9% rate with a date of 01/01/2024 and later to the new 13% rate. This applies to all items that are not settled yet.
Therefore, prepare and settle historical bookings with the old rate, if possible, by the end of the hotel day, 31st of Dec 2024. Overstays can be billed in advance. It is impossible to change the document's VAT for hotel bills, but for invoices, it is possible.
In addition, in the interim period, items already reflected in the performance reports by night audit may have a different VAT rate. Tax documents, generated in the interim period since the new rate and system mass recalculation, must be adjusted manually. The change is made on the selected day after considering the most appropriate time for the system-wide change.

1. Check if changing the default VAT for advances and proforma invoices is necessary.
2. Check if it is necessary to change the default service for Deposit invoice.
3. Check if changing the VAT on other Hotel services is necessary.
4. Check if changing the VAT set at RateCode and packages is necessary.
