  • GROSS: all lines belonging to a gross mode document
STARStands for Special Travel Agency Regime. Also known as TOMS in the UK or REAV in Spain. It's a tax regime that applies to Travel Agencies like Perk, when acting as the principal.
GROSS

An invoice line belonging to an invoice of billing mode gross, cannot be accounted for as an invoice.

It applies to the case whereby Perk is only doing the prepayment of the service. It applies mainly to some hotels per request of the customer. For those cases, the invoice is collected at the hotel directly.

G-VAT-RAlso known as General Regime. Standard tax regime for which taxes need to be accounted for. Generally speaking, it applies to any of the following options:
  • Invoice line refers to a fee charged by Perk (ie Premium fee)
  • Invoice line refers to a service booked (ie train). Perk does not act as the principal but as the intermediary.
