How it was worked out
- Room charge. ₱4,500.00 × 2 nights × 1 room = ₱9,000.00 before VAT. (National Internal Revenue Code, Section 108, 12% VAT on the sale of services)
- Service charge. 10% of ₱9,000.00 = ₱900.00. Under RA 11360 all of it goes to the covered employees. (Republic Act No. 11360, the Service Charge Law)
- VAT. 12% of the room and service charge: ₱9,900.00 × 12% = ₱1,188.00. (National Internal Revenue Code, Section 108, 12% VAT on the sale of services)
- Total. ₱9,000.00 + ₱900.00 + ₱1,188.00 + ₱0.00 local tax = ₱11,088.00.
- Hotels differ on whether VAT is charged on the service charge and on what base the local tax is computed. Check the hotel's own billing.
- The senior or PWD discount applies to the senior's own share of the room. Some hotels exclude promo rates; the senior or PWD ID must be shown.
- Food, minibar, extra beds and resort fees are not included.

Questions
Asked and answered.
What does "plus plus" mean on a hotel rate in the Philippines?
It means the rate does not yet include the service charge and the 12% VAT. Both are added to the room rate on the bill.
Do senior citizens get a discount on hotel rooms?
Yes. RA 9994 gives senior citizens 20% off and a VAT exemption on room accommodation in hotels and similar lodging, on the senior's own share of the room.
Who gets the hotel's 10% service charge?
Under RA 11360 all of the service charge collected goes to the covered employees, shared equally, except managerial employees.
Is the service charge required by law?
No. The law does not require a hotel to charge one. It says that when a hotel does collect a service charge, all of it must go to the covered employees.
