A corporate room night carries GST at 12 or 18 per cent, two to three times the rate on a domestic air ticket, and room nights usually outnumber flight sectors across a travel programme. Every stay issues a tax invoice, and in most organisations nobody is responsible for collecting them. StayLedger applies the airline method to accommodation.
Corporate accommodation attracts GST at 12 or 18 per cent depending on tariff, materially more than the roughly 5 per cent on a domestic air ticket. Every stay issues a tax invoice. In most companies, no function owns collecting them.
Airline invoices at least sit in known portals. Hotel paper scatters across chain billing systems, front desks, booking inboxes and traveller phones. Collection is the whole battle, so the battle rarely starts.
A nine hundred rupee GST line on a two night stay clears nobody's threshold. Multiplied across every traveller and every month, it becomes a number that belongs in a review.
Travel desks book, finance files, admin holds the folios. Hotel GST sits precisely in the gap between three teams, which is why it needs an outside owner rather than another internal instruction.
Twenty-four room nights across chains, independents and booking channels, which is a normal spread for a mid-sized programme. Each issues its own document in its own place. Watch them become one register.
One GST register. Every stay's tax data extracted and reconciled, in the same format your airline data arrives in.
0documents capturedEach booking channel leaves a different document in a different place, which is half the reason the category goes unreconciled.
Marriott, Taj, ITC, Radisson and their peers bill corporate stays centrally and issue e-invoices from their own systems. Retrievable, provided somebody owns the account and goes looking.
Independents and franchise properties invoice at the front desk. This is the folio your traveller photographed, or did not. The most scattered shape and the most commonly lost.
Bookings made through platforms produce their own documentation layer, sometimes the hotel's invoice and sometimes the platform's. Knowing which one is claimable is the skill.
Booking is well controlled in most organisations. Documentation is not. One stay's tax invoice can land in four places, and two of them put it permanently beyond finance.
StayLedger's job is to make all four paths end in the same place: the document found, its GST extracted, the stay reconciled and claimable.
₹0claimed, from one stayThe same four moves, the same register format, the same monthly rhythm. Nothing new for your team to learn.
Hotel e-documentation collected from wherever your stays leave it. You share what you hold; we pursue the rest, including chain accounts that require a written authorisation.
Every tax field lifted into the same purchase-register Excel your airline data arrives in. One format and one workflow across both ledgers.
Matched against the government's record, with gaps identified and valued, so hotel input tax credit stops being a rounding decision and becomes a claimed number.
Twenty five rupees per hotel document processed. No platform fee, no minimum volume and no separate charge for reconciliation.
The honest answers, before you commit anything.
No, and it is the most common setup we see. What matters is whether the tax invoice is raised to your company's name and GSTIN rather than the individual's. Part of the review establishes how often that is happening, because where it is not, the credit was never claimable and a small booking instruction fixes future stays.
Yes. StayLedger runs standalone. Most clients arrive through airline work and add hotels once the rhythm is established, but there is no dependency in either direction.
Foreign hotel stays generally do not generate Indian GST credit, so there is no Indian tax to reclaim. StayLedger focuses on domestic room nights, which is where the claimable position sits.
Not as a standing offer, because hotel data varies far more between companies. The honest equivalent is a scoped review of one quarter of stays, which sizes the position before you commit.
