What operators should track

  • Accurate accommodation charge per booking in pence.
  • Check-in and check-out dates so nights subject to levy are calculated correctly.
  • Booking date for cutoff handling where the scheme requires it.
  • Any exemption status and supporting notes for auditability.
  • Quarter totals: levy collected, provider retention, and council amount due.
