Sector
Seasonal payroll, tip handling and VAT regimes that change with the menu.
Hospitality is not difficult accounting. It is a large volume of small decisions, each with a deadline, taken while the business is at its busiest. That combination is what produces the letters.
Most of the exposure we find in this sector is procedural rather than substantive: the right amount declared on the wrong form, or the correct filing made nine days late during August.
What to log, what to ignore, and what AADE actually checks. The rules reward consistency more than any particular treatment.
Volume is the easy part. The Ergani deadlines for hires and terminations do not relax because you took on forty people in one week.
Accommodation, food, alcohol and service charges do not share a rate. Getting the split right at the till saves reconstructing it at year-end.
Common in this sector and usually announced. What determines the outcome is whether the file was assembled before the letter arrived.
When my hospitality group received an AADE letter on a Friday afternoon, Markos had a draft response ready by Monday morning and walked me through every paragraph before we filed. The penalty was reduced from €27,400 to €1,100.
