Questions
Can a hotel pay reduced VAT?
Some residential accommodation use can qualify. Your supplier can explain how a VAT declaration works.
Should a larger hotel be on half-hourly metering?
Larger sites usually already are. HH data helps price your actual daily pattern.
Do we have several meters?
Many hotels do, for example separate supplies for annexes or leisure areas. List each one.
