Expedia Group will send communications and emails asking you to provide the required data in Vrbo/Bookabach Ltd.  

 You must complete this information for each property separately. 

To provide the required data information:  
  1. Log in to your owner dashboard. 
  2. Select Local Laws on the side menu. 
  3. Select Update regulatory information. 
  4. Complete the requested information and submit. 
  5. Repeat this process for all properties. 
Note: If you have multiple TINs, you will only provide a single one that you would like Bookabach Ltd. to report to New Zealand’s tax authority (the Inland Revenue Department (IRD)) and under which you would like the income to be declared for this property.  

Missing information 

If you do not have some of the required information, refer to New Zealand’s national laws to determine how to obtain it or learn what information is equivalent. It is important to provide this information as soon as you obtain it. 

GST ID  

You have GST ID if you have applied to be registered for one with the IRD. The GST ID is issued by the IRD and can usually be found, for example, on letters from the IRD in relation to GST, GST return forms, or a GST registration certificate etc. 

Tax Identification Number (TIN) 

Most countries issue a TIN to their residents/citizens and companies. The TIN can differ per country and can be found, for example, on income tax forms, ID cards, or letters from the relevant tax authorities. 

Note: In New Zealand, the TIN is equivalent to IRD number. The GST number is the same as the TIN/IRD number; if the IRD number is activated for GST purposes it also becomes a GST ID.
