City Lodge changes agent commission system,

THE City Lodge Hotel
Group has changed its
commission system,
effective February 1. Travel
agents now need to bill the
group for commission and
can no longer deduct 10%
commission from payments
made to the group on behalf of
clients who have stayed at the
group’s hotels and/or used its
services and facilities.
The new system is the
only accepted means by
which agents can bill their
commissions while still
meeting tax invoice regulations
in South Africa.
Under the system, travel
agents will receive a
commission advice from
the City Lodge Hotel Group
mid-month. The commission
advice will be accompanied
by a request to issue a tax
invoice to the group for the
commission amount, which will
include VAT.
Once the group has received
a tax invoice, it will pay the
commission amounts, which
are subject to normal payment
terms and conditions.
