Travel agencies and tour operators require more than standard bookkeeping. Their accounting setup must follow the structure of bookings, supplier invoices, travel packages, commissions, refunds, client documentation, payroll and VAT treatment.
Why travel agency accounting needs sector focus
Travel businesses may combine own services, third-party travel services, commissions, packages, cross-border transactions, B2B and B2C clients, supplier prepayments and cancellation flows. These facts affect how income, expenses, VAT and reporting should be monitored.

We support Greek and foreign-owned travel businesses that need accounting, VAT, payroll and tax compliance adapted to tourism activity.
Not only bookkeeping
The objective is to define how bookings, supplier invoices, client invoices, margins, payroll and VAT reporting should work each month.

Travel agency VAT is not a standard one-line decision.
The correct VAT treatment depends on the actual transaction structure, the role of the travel agency, the supplier flow, the customer type and whether the agency sells own services, third-party services, packages, commissions or mixed services. This page is designed to route the case to the correct review before recurring filings begin.
Travel agency VAT, invoicing and myDATA must be reviewed together.
A travel agency may issue invoices, receive supplier invoices, handle packages, commissions, refunds, deposits and cross-border services. These flows affect accounting, VAT treatment, myDATA classification and monthly controls.
Agency or principal role
The first question is whether the business acts as agent, principal, tour operator or mixed-service provider.
Review role →Supplier documentation
Hotel, transport, guide, ticketing and destination supplier invoices must be reviewed and classified correctly.
Review suppliers →Margin and package controls
Travel package profitability and tax treatment require structured monitoring of sales, supplier costs and adjustments.
Review margin →myDATA and invoicing flow
Greek electronic books and invoice classifications should reflect the actual activity and document flow.
Review myDATA →From first review to monthly compliance flow.
We do not start only from data entry. We first understand the travel agency model and then define how accounting, VAT, payroll, myDATA and tax controls should operate.
Activity review
We review how the agency sells: own services, packages, commissions, third-party services or mixed activity.
Document flow
We identify the required supplier, client, booking, refund, credit note and payment documentation flow.
VAT treatment
We review whether the transaction flow requires standard VAT, special travel agency VAT review or further analysis.
Monthly controls
We prepare recurring controls for revenues, supplier balances, payroll, VAT, myDATA and tax filings.
Ongoing support
We support the business with recurring accounting, payroll, tax advisory and compliance follow-up.
