1-creditor for all reservations worldwide and VAT recovery
july 2009
As from October 1, it will be possible for event planners to remit payments for international meetings via their national Worldmeetings agency. This new solution allows both national and international bookings to be settled via the same account and thus allowing organizations to have 1 creditor for all reservations worldwide. With the invoice issued by Worldmeetings, clients will also receive the original bill provided by the corresponding venue, issued in their company's name. This will enable clients to reclaim any recoverable VAT via specialist agencies. For more information please e-mail jrbrons@worldmeetings.com.
