No tax invoice after your business trip? Expense reporting gets tricky.

You may have paid with a corporate card, then find the rental charge can’t get a tax invoice.
The stay’s over, but reimbursement stalls.
Here’s why you should check tax-invoice availability before booking a business-trip stay.

Why SamSamM2 short-term rentals often don’t issue tax invoices

Residential rent is VAT-exempt

According to SamSamM2’s official guidance, residential rent is VAT-exempt, so cash receipts or electronic tax invoices are generally not issued.
This usually applies when the host is an individual without business registration.

If the host is a VAT-registered business, an invoice may be possible

If the property owner is registered as a taxable business (for example, a hotel), they may issue a cash receipt or electronic tax invoice.
Confirm directly with the host to be sure.

Platform service fees are separate

SamSamM2’s platform service fees can usually be issued as cash receipts or electronic tax invoices.
However, that covers only the fee, not the full rent, so it may not be enough for expense claims.

What to check before you book

① Does the listing say a tax invoice is available?

Listings run by business-registered hosts often show "tax invoice available."
If it’s not shown, contact the host before booking.

② Check with your company if the card receipt is acceptable

If you paid with a corporate card, the card sales slip is often accepted as proof.
Check your company’s rules—if a tax invoice is required, plan accordingly.

③ If a tax invoice is mandatory, book a listing that can issue one

If your company requires a tax invoice, the safest option is to choose a listing operated as a business from the start.
