Hospitality

Accounting for hospitality, from recipe norms and daily takings to clean taxes.

Biro Vision handles complete bookkeeping for cafes, bars, restaurants and hotels, from recipe norms and price calculations for food and drink, through daily takings and e-fiscalization, to VAT and payroll for permanent and seasonal staff. We understand that in hospitality margin, food write-offs and fiscal receipts intersect every day, so we take over your goods accounting, stock counts and cash operations and let you focus on your guests. For hotels and accommodation we keep the tourist tax, the property category and guest registration in the eTurista system in order, with the correct application of the reduced VAT rate on accommodation, accurate reports and tax obligations met on time.

What you need to get started

  1. 01 APR registration: establishing a sole trader or company with a primary hospitality activity code (56.10 restaurants and mobile food service facilities, 56.30 beverage preparation and serving for bars and cafes, and for accommodation 55.10 hotels and similar accommodation).
  2. 02 Fiscalization: mandatory installation of an electronic fiscal device (an ESIR plus a fiscal receipt processor, local or virtual) with a security element and issuing fiscal receipts through the fiscalization management system (SUF) for every sale to final consumers.
  3. 03 VAT and registration: registering in the VAT system (mandatory once turnover exceeds RSD 8,000,000 over the previous 365 days, or voluntarily), applying the standard 20% rate to serving food and drink for on-premises consumption and the reduced 10% rate to accommodation.
  4. 04 Premises and permits: meeting the minimum technical and sanitary requirements for a hospitality venue, and for hotels obtaining the property category (stars) from the competent authority before opening.
  5. 05 Accommodation and staff: for hotels, calculating and paying the tourist tax and registering guests in the eTurista system, while registering permanent, seasonal and freelance workers for mandatory social insurance via the CROSO portal.
