Hotel & Hospitality Industry
Brief Industry Introduction
The hotel and hospitality industry is a cornerstone of India’s tourism economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employment. With growing domestic tourism, rising international travel, and government initiatives like “Incredible India” and infrastructure development, the industry holds immense potential. However, hotels and resorts face challenges such as seasonal demand fluctuations, high operating costs, compliance with GST and local laws, and competitive pricing pressures.
At Mangesh Kadam & Associates, we deliver financial, tax, and compliance solutions to hotels, resorts, restaurants, and hospitality chains, enabling them to achieve sustainable growth and profitability.
Key Challenges & How We Help
Seasonal Revenue & Cash Flow Management
Challenge
Hotels often face uneven cash flows due to seasonal demand variations, cancellations, and dependency on tourism cycles. This makes it difficult to manage operations and debt servicing consistently.
Our Role
We design cash flow forecasting models, working capital solutions, and receivable management systems. Our advisory ensures better liquidity planning and smooth operations even during off-peak seasons.
Rising Operating Costs & Profitability
Challenge
High expenses on staff salaries, utilities, food and beverages, and maintenance significantly impact margins. Inefficient costing frameworks and absence of benchmarking reduce profitability visibility.
Our Role
We implement robust costing systems, conduct cost audits, and provide MIS dashboards for performance tracking. Our insights help management optimize costs, improve pricing, and enhance profitability.
Taxation & GST Compliance
Challenge
Hotels must navigate complex GST rules, including varying rates on accommodation, food, and banquets, along with input credit restrictions. Wrong tax treatment can result in disputes and penalties.
Our Role
We provide end-to-end GST compliance, reconciliations, refund assistance, and audit support. Our expertise ensures tax efficiency and litigation-free operations.
Risk Management & Internal Controls
Challenge
Risks such as revenue leakage in billing, fraud in procurement, pilferage, and guest safety issues can harm financial health and reputation.
Our Role
We conduct risk-based internal audits, review procurement systems, and design SOPs for operations. Our governance framework minimizes risks and improves transparency.
Income Tax & Regulatory Compliance
Challenge
Hotels often struggle with complex income tax provisions, including timely deduction and deposit of TDS on contractor and vendor payments. Cash-based transactions in the industry also invite higher chances of scrutiny and inquiries from tax authorities.
Our Role
We streamline direct tax compliances through accurate TDS reconciliations, timely return filings, and structured statutory audits. Our review of financial controls ensures that risks of discrepancies are minimized. We help improve tax efficiency, and strengthen regulatory confidence.
Expansion & Project Financing
Challenge
Our Role
We prepare project reports, conduct feasibility studies, and arrange structured funding. Our financial advisory ensures timely funding and efficient capital structuring.
