     I took the bother of looking up the rule. As the hotel is not refunding it   
   makes no difference but:   
      
     If the booking was for 1 to 28 nights the hotel must forward the VAT in   
   the normal way.   
     If the booking was for longer than 28 days the hotel has no liability to   
   pass any VAT on.
