What is the purpose of tourist tax?
It is collected by the landlords and paid in full to the local authority, which uses it entirely for expenditure to improve tourist facilities: running the Tourist Office, organising events and activities, maintaining public spaces, improving sports and leisure facilities.
The rates of this tax depend on the type (hotel, campsite, furnished accommodation, etc.) and classification of the accommodation.

Digital operators
Since 1 January 2019, digital operators acting as payment intermediaries* have been legally required to collect tourist tax in full.
Non-exhaustive list of digital payment intermediaries:
- AirBnB
- Abritel – HomeAway
- Booking
Other websites may act as payment intermediaries, depending on the options you choose.
If you use one or more of these digital payment intermediaries exclusively, please inform the Tourist Tax Department. We will send you a certificate to fill in, so that you do not have to declare and pay tourist tax.
If you rent via a digital operator that is not a payment intermediary, you are still responsible for collecting the tourist tax.
Digital operators are payment intermediaries when they handle bookings, collect payment for the rental and pass it on to you.
The classification
You can also have your furnished accommodation classified. This classification will give you a number of advantages.
