Please provide a tax invoice download feature

It was a very pleasant stay. The breakfast is really nice, and great value. My only issue is i need a tax invoice from Hotels.com to claim the expense back from my employer - and the hotel themselves are not able to provide as i did not book directly with the hotel.
