On the invoice the room price is split up into several items: accommodation, ancillary accommodation costs and breakfast. The tourist tax is also shown separately and is not included in the room rate.
Ancillary accommodation costs include services that are not to be assigned to the actual overnight stay (e. g. the wellness area). For tax reasons we are obliged to split up the room price on the invoice, as different services are taxed at different VAT rates: accommodation at 7%, all other services at 19%.
We kindly ask you for your understanding that we are legally obliged to issue invoices showing ancillary accommodation costs as well as breakfast separately and that these cost items cannot be taken off your invoice.
