Tourism and hospitality — 12 % VAT + booking systems

Norwegian tourism is growing post-pandemic — coastline, fjords and aurora tourism generate NOK 80 billion annually. The sector has its own VAT rate of 12 % for lodging (but 25 % for restaurants and 0 % for mountain transport). 4b2b supports multi-rate invoicing, OTA integration (Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb), corporate agreements for large-customer discounts, and Innovation Norway grant administration.

01
Challenge

You run a mountain hotel with a restaurant and must invoice the right VAT rate per line.

Answer

The platform splits automatically: lodging (12 %), breakfast (25 %), lift transport > 1000 m (0 %), restaurant à la carte (25 %). The invoice template shows each line clearly.

02
Challenge

Booking.com takes 15 % commission — how do you record it in the books?

Answer

OTA module: gross turnover is booked as revenue, OTA commission as marketing cost in the same period. Reconciliation is automatic when monthly payout arrives.

03
Challenge

You received an Innovation Norway grant and must report quarterly.

Answer

Grant module: ties expenses to Innovation Norway-approved project codes, generates quarterly report with documented hours + costs.
