Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does travel agent record revenue gross or commission only?

Depends on role. If travel controls services (determines price, bears risk), recorded gross. If only facilitates, recorded commission only (net).

How to record customer deposits not yet departed?

Deposits are recorded as liabilities (deferred revenue). When departure occurs, moved to revenue according to services provided.

How to record payments to hotels and airlines?

If as agent, payments to suppliers don't enter expenses (recorded as passthrough). If principal, recorded as tour package COGS.
