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 June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. 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. International Withholding Tax. In July 2025, the Guardia di Finanza (“GdF”) of Milan issued a tax audit report to Expedia Group, proposing an amount of unpaid withholding tax to the Italian Tax Authorities (“ITA”) of 150 million Euros ($175 million), excluding penalties and interest, for the years 2017 through 2023. The GdF’s tax audit report purports the Company had an obligation under a 2017 law to withhold and remit 21% income tax from certain short-term rental partners in Italy. In the third quarter of 2025, we entered into discussions with the ITA to resolve this matter and we recorded a reserve for the potential settlement of this matter, consistent with applicable accounting principles and in light of all current facts and circumstances, in the amount of $90 million within legal reserves, occupancy tax and other in the consolidated statements of operations. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we recorded additional expense of $88 million related to this matter. While we continued to believe Expedia Group was compliant with Italian tax laws, on December 10, 2025, we reached an agreement with the Italian tax authorities and paid $156 million for tax years 2017 to 2023. We are in ongoing discussions with the Italian tax authorities to resolve withholding tax claims related to subsequent years. As of June 30, 2026, our remaining settlement reserve was approximately $9 million included within accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Our settlement reserve is based on our reasonable estimate, and the ultimate resolution of the contingency may be greater than the liability recorded.
