How does SajhiloStay register bills with the IRD and print a proper tax invoice?

A VAT bill typed into a computer is not the same thing as a bill the tax office already has on record. With IRD billing on, SajhiloStay does the second: each sale is sent to the Inland Revenue Department as it happens, and the bill your guest takes away matches the IRD's record figure for figure.

What is registered

• Every restaurant till sale
• Every room checkout and group checkout
• Every refund — as a credit note against the original invoice, on the IRD's side too

What the printed bill carries

• TAX INVOICE heading for a VAT-registered hotel
• Your hotel's PAN or VAT number, and the IRD invoice number
• The customer's name and PAN, asked for at checkout under "Bill To"
• The Nepali (BS) date, HS codes and the amount in words, with paisa always shown
• ORIGINAL or "Copy of Original N" — the original prints once, from the counter, by staff with that permission; every reprint is marked as a copy

When the internet is down

You keep billing. A bill that could not be sent is marked with its sync state, retried every half hour, and can be resent with one button — so a dropped connection never stops checkout.

VAT and service charge

Service charge and VAT are worked out automatically on restaurant bills. Room rent can be taxed too, with a switch that is off by default so nothing changes until a VAT-registered hotel turns it on — and a restaurant order on a room bill is never taxed twice. For the basics, see printing a VAT bill with service charge.

Every property's registration is a little different, so talk to us about your PAN/VAT status before you switch IRD billing on.
