Can I call for an invoice if I didn't get an invoice for staying in a hotel before?

Yes, call the hotel and explain the situation. The hotel will send you the invoice. Postage can be paid in reverse. According to Article 22 of the Consumer Protection Law, the relationship between consumers and businesses is established, and businesses should issue invoices to consumers, which is the legal obligation of businesses.

In fact, there is no regulation on the time when the hotel issues invoices. As long as it is after the consumer has finished eating, or after the hotel actually consumes the money, it can be issued. The invoice amount cannot exceed the amount spent in the hotel. Consumers can ask the hotel to issue invoices at any time.

You can complain without invoicing.

Now, for the convenience of internal management, most hotels and supermarkets make some restrictions on the time of issuing invoices, which has become a routine and is recognized by consumers in most cases in daily life.

However, legally speaking, even if the merchants inform consumers in advance that there is such a provision, providing invoices within a time limit is also an act that restricts consumers' rights and interests and violates their due legal obligations. If the consumer's request for an invoice from the operator is rejected, he can complain to the tax authorities.
