Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of business, we are a party to various lawsuits. Management does not expect these lawsuits to have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of Expedia Group. We also evaluate other potential contingent matters, including value-added tax, excise tax, sales tax, transient occupancy or accommodation tax and similar matters. We do not believe that the aggregate amount of liability that could be reasonably possible with respect to these matters would have a material adverse effect on our financial results; however, litigation is inherently uncertain and the actual losses incurred in the event that our legal proceedings were to result in unfavorable outcomes could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance. Litigation Relating to Occupancy Taxes. We currently have two active lawsuits involving hotel occupancy taxes and we continue to defend against the claims made in them vigorously. With respect to the principal claims in these and previous similar matters, we believe that the statutes or ordinances at issue do not apply to us or the services we provide and, therefore, that we do not owe the taxes that are claimed to be owed. We believe that the statutes or ordinances at issue generally impose occupancy and other taxes on entities that own, operate or control hotels (or similar businesses) or furnish or provide hotel rooms or similar accommodations. We have established reserves for the potential settlement of issues related to hotel occupancy and other taxes, consistent with applicable accounting principles and in light of all current facts and circumstances, which were not material as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Our settlement reserves are based on our best estimate of probable losses and the ultimate resolution of these contingencies may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded. An estimate for a reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of the amounts reserved cannot be made. Changes to the settlement reserves are included within legal reserves, occupancy tax and other in the consolidated statements of operations. Pay-to-Play. Certain jurisdictions may assert that we are required to pay any assessed taxes prior to being allowed to contest or litigate the applicability of the ordinances. This prepayment of contested taxes is referred to as “pay-to-play.” Payment of these amounts is not an admission that we believe we are subject to such taxes and, even when such payments are made, we continue to defend our position vigorously. If we prevail in the litigation, for which a pay-to-play payment was made, the jurisdiction collecting the payment will be required to repay such amounts and also may be required to pay interest. We are in various stages of inquiry or audit with various tax authorities, some of which may impose a pay-to-play requirement to challenge an adverse inquiry or audit result in court. Matters Relating to International VAT. We are in various stages of inquiry or audit in multiple European Union jurisdictions regarding the application of VAT to our European Union related transactions. While we believe we comply with applicable VAT laws, rules and regulations in the relevant jurisdictions, the tax authorities may determine that we owe additional taxes. During the third quarter of 2024, we entered into discussions with Italian tax authorities to resolve matters raised in an audit of the 2016 to 2022 tax years regarding the Company’s purported Italian VAT obligations. In 2024, we recorded a reserve for the potential settlement of these matters, consistent with applicable accounting principles and in light of facts and circumstances at that time, in the amount of $107 million. While we continue to believe Expedia Group is compliant with Italian tax laws, in November 2024, we reached an agreement with the Italian tax authorities and paid $71 million for tax years 2016 to 2022. We are in ongoing discussions with the Italian tax authorities to resolve VAT claims related to subsequent years. Our settlement reserve is based on our best estimate and the ultimate resolution of these contingencies may be greater or less than the liabilities recorded. In certain jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom and Italy, we may be required to “pay-to-play” any VAT assessment prior to contesting its validity. While we believe that we will be successful based on the merits of our positions with regard to audits in pay-to-play jurisdictions, it is nevertheless reasonably possible that we could be required to pay any assessed amounts in order to contest or litigate the applicability of any assessments and an estimate for a reasonably possible amount of any such payments cannot be made.
