If you need an invoice with GST (Goods and Services Tax) or VAT (Value Added Tax) details for your travel booking, you can usually request it during or after the booking process. Here is how:
When to request the invoice
The best time to request an invoice with GST/VAT is during the booking process, before completing payment. Many platforms and service providers allow you to enter GST or VAT details at this stage.
If you did not provide the details during booking, you can typically request an invoice after the booking is confirmed, but before travel commences.
How to request the invoice
During booking: Look for a field labeled "Company name," "GST number," "VAT number," or "Tax ID" on the booking form. Enter the required details accurately.
After booking: Go to the "Manage Booking" section on the website or app and check if there is an option to update or add GST/VAT details and request an invoice.
Through customer support: If online options are not available, contact customer support with your booking reference and your GST/VAT details. Request that an official invoice be issued.
Information typically required
Registered business name
GST/VAT registration number
Registered address of the business
Booking reference number
Important points to note
Not all travel services are eligible for GST/VAT invoices. Check the provider’s policy in advance.
Ensure that you provide your GST/VAT details before the invoice is generated. Retrospective changes to invoices are often not allowed.
The name and details on the invoice must match your registered business details exactly to be valid for tax purposes.
Requesting an invoice with GST/VAT details is straightforward if you provide accurate information at the right time. This ensures compliance with tax regulations and allows you to claim eligible input tax credits where applicable.
