Milan: the Municipality decides to increase the rates of the tourist tax

From January 2024, every tourist who stays in one, two and three star hotels in the city, in two, three and four star residences, in youth hostels, holiday homes, campsites and tourist villages will pay an extra 50 cents per night compared to current rates. For guests of holiday homes and short-term rentals, bed and breakfast , inns, Lombard guesthouses and guest houses, the increase is 1,5 euros per night. For customers of hotels with four stars and above, the rate remains at the current 5 euros, the maximum amount allowed by national law. The tax, by law, must be used for interventions relating to tourism, maintenance, use and recovery of cultural and environmental assets and for the related local public services. The increase in revenue resulting from the tariff changes will also be used to cover the services necessary and connected to the reception of tourist flows, in particular for local public transport and security, as well as to combat tax evasion. The measure was shared with the category representatives of the most representative associations.

“There has been no action on the rates of the tourist tax since 2012. Then Milan was far from being the tourist destination of international interest that it is today – explained the Tourism councilor Martina Riva -. With over 6,3 million arrivals recorded in the city from January to September 2023 alone, Milan is experiencing the best tourist period in its history. Tourism is a huge opportunity for our city, from all points of view. Given the constant growth in arrivals, it would be reckless not to immediately define a strategy that allows us to manage - and not passively suffer - the increase in the flow of visitors. The desire, in fact, is precisely to invest further in the attractiveness of our city, because every new visitor that we are able to convince represents a victory for our community and for the image of Milan. At the same time, however, it is necessary to accompany this path with policies aimed at limiting the impact on the city that the increase in visitors may entail. For this reason - added Riva - the time has come to think about a slight remodulation of the tourist tax. If our city offers so much to its visitors, then we ask the visitors themselves to leave something to the city, with the commitment to reinvest the greater revenues in public services essential for tourist activity, first of all public transport and safety, as well as in the creation of a small task force specifically dedicated to identifying and prosecuting the still too numerous episodes of tax evasion”.

“We have tried to contain, below the maximum allowed by law, the increase in the tourist tax for B&Bs and hotels up to 3 stars – states the budget councilor, Emmanuel Conte – as the government has not allowed us to spread the necessary increase also on 4 and 5 stars. The Municipality of Milan guarantees a high quantity and quality of services for everyone. Tourism is certainly a source of wealth and economic well-being, but a high number of tourists has an impact on the city, from the environmental point of view, the management of services and the life of citizens. The tourist tax contributes to the burden of local services that Milan continues to offer and implement, for residents and non-residents, without affecting but rather contributing to the attractiveness and competitiveness of the city. It is one of the few means of tax autonomy left to municipal administrations, which continue to suffer, even in Budget Law , spending cuts that impose sacrifices to the detriment of our fellow citizens. As budget councilor, I renew my request that national regulations truly make it an equalization tool available to all local authorities".

Please note that the 2011 law establishing the tax gives local authorities the power to apply the contribution gradually in proportion to the classification of the structures. TO Milan it was introduced in 2012, with a resolution of the municipal council which defines the structures subject to the tax, the exemptions and concessions and delegates the task of determining the tariffs to the council. The categories exempt from the tax in Milan are minors under 18, young people under 30 who stay overnight in youth hostels, carers of hospitalized people, people undergoing post-hospitalisation care, guests of facilities managed by non-profit entities after on the fourteenth day of stay, law enforcement and armed forces personnel in Milan for reasons of service, university students up to 26 years of age in pensions or university residences, people with disabilities and their companions, volunteers coordinated by the Protection Civil, guests of accommodation facilities for emergency situations. Except for the pandemic period, in recent years Milan has recorded a constant increase in tourist presences in the city. When the tax was introduced, overnight stays in Milan stood at around 8 million per year. In 2019, there were 16,7 million overnight stays. Here is the detailed remodulation of the rates by category: Campsites, tourist villages and youth hostels: from 2 euros to 2,5 euros; One-star hotels and two-star residences: from 2 euros to 2,5 euros; Two-star hotels, three-star residences and holiday homes: from 3 euros to 3,5 euros; Three-star hotels and four-star residences: from 4 to 4,5 euros; Holiday homes and short-term rentals, Bed and breakfast , inns, Lombard guesthouses and inns: from 3 euros to 4,5 euros; Four star hotels and above: without variations, at 5 euros.

The Tourist Tax in Italy: Complete Guide and Updates 2024

Understanding tourist tax in italy: a complete guide.

In Italy, the tourist tax is a municipal tax applied to tourists who stay overnight in accommodation facilities. This article provides a detailed overview of the tax, from the basis of the calculation to recent legislative changes, with the aim of offering a comprehensive guide for tourists and operators in the sector.

1. What is the Tourist Tax?

Definition and purpose.

The tourist tax is a municipal tax in Italy, imposed on tourists for each night spent in an accommodation facility. Includes hotels, bed & breakfasts, holiday apartments, and other forms of paid accommodation. This tax is used to generate revenue that municipalities use to finance projects aimed at improving tourist attractiveness, maintaining and enhancing cultural and environmental heritage, and supporting the local tourist infrastructure.

How does it work

The tax is calculated per night and per guest. The rate can vary greatly depending on several factors:

Location : Each municipality in Italy can establish its own tariffs. Cities with a high tourist influx such as Rome, Venice, and Florence tend to have higher rates.
Type of Structure : Rates may differ depending on the type and category of accommodation. For example, a 5-star hotel may have a higher tourist tax than a B&B or hostel.
Season : Some locations charge different rates based on the season, with higher prices during peak tourist periods.

Objectives and Use of Funds

The funds raised through the tourist tax are intended for different purposes, all aimed at improving the tourist experience and preserving local resources. Examples of uses include:

Maintenance and restoration of historical and cultural sites.
Improvement of public services and tourist infrastructure, such as signage, lighting and cleanliness.
Tourist promotion and organization of cultural events.

Specific Examples

In Rome, the tourist tax contributes to the maintenance of its many historical sites.
In Venice, part of the funds raised is intended for the conservation of the city and the management of its delicate ecological balance.

Implications for Tourists and Managers

For tourists, the tourist tax represents an additional cost, although usually modest, on the total cost of the stay. For hospitality managers, it is essential to inform customers about this tax and ensure they collect and remit it correctly to local authorities.

Conclusions

The tourist tax, although it can be seen as a small burden for tourists, plays a crucial role in supporting and improving the quality and attractiveness of Italian tourist destinations, ensuring that cultural and natural heritage is preserved for future generations.

2. Calculation of the Tourist Tax

Determinant Factors

The calculation of the tourist tax in Italy is based on a series of factors which mainly include the classification of the accommodation and the duration of the stay. Here are some key aspects:

Accommodation Classification : The accommodation facilities are classified into different categories, such as hotels (from 1 to 5 stars), bed & breakfasts, holiday homes, hostels, etc. Each category has an associated fee that varies from municipality to municipality.
Duration of stay : The tax is generally calculated for each night spent in the property. In some locations, there may be a maximum number of nights for which the tax is due.
Location : Each municipality in Italy has the autonomy to establish its own rates, which can vary considerably depending on the needs and tourist attractions of the area.

Practical Examples

Roma : In the capital, the tax can vary from 3 to 7 euros per night, depending on the type of establishment. For example, a 4-star hotel might have a city tax of 6 euros per night per person, while a B&B might have a rate of 3 euros per night per person.
Venezia : In a city with a unique urban structure and specific problems related to mass tourism such as Venice, the tourist tax rates may be higher to contribute to the maintenance of the city.

Considerations for Tour Operators

Updated information : It is essential for tourism operators to keep information on their municipality's tourist tax rates updated. This includes periodically checking for updates or changes to local regulations.
Communication to Customers : Operators should clearly inform their guests about the tourist tax, both at the time of booking and upon arrival, to avoid surprises or misunderstandings.
Administrative Management : It is important for operators to correctly manage the collection and payment of the tax to local authorities, respecting the established deadlines.

The tourist tax, although it may seem like a minor detail, is an important element of tourism management in Italy. Correct application and effective communication of this tax contributes to a positive experience for tourists and ensures that tour operators comply with local regulations.

3. Regulations and Regional Variations of the Tourist Tax

Regional diversity.

In Italy, regulations relating to the tourist tax vary considerably from region to region and from municipality to municipality, reflecting the different needs and tourist attractions of each area. This diversity manifests itself in terms of tariffs, methods of application and destination of the funds raised.

Examples of Regional Variations

Venezia : One of the most iconic cities in Italy, Venice, adopts relatively high tourist tax rates. This is due to the need to maintain and protect its unique historical and cultural heritage, as well as managing the impact of mass tourism on a city built on canals.
Roma : As the capital, Rome uses the tourist tax to preserve its rich historical and archaeological heritage, as well as improve tourist services in the city.
Small Cities and Municipalities : In contrast to large art cities, many small cities or tourist municipalities can adopt lower rates. The objective may be to encourage tourism, especially in less well-known or developing tourist areas.

Different motivations

Changes in rates and methods of application of the tourist tax are influenced by various factors:

Conservation needs : In cities with important historical and cultural sites, rates tend to be higher to fund preservation and maintenance.
Tourism Sustainability : In areas with intense tourist flows, the tourist tax can be used to manage the sustainability of tourism and mitigate environmental impact.
Promotion of Local Tourism : Some regions may use the tourist tax to finance tourism promotion campaigns or to develop new attractions.

Considerations for Tourists and Operators

Understanding local tourist tax regulations is essential for tourists and tour operators. While tourists need to be aware of additional expenses when planning their trip, operators need to be informed about their municipality's specific fees and how to pay.

The tourist tax in Italy is an example of how tax policies can be adapted to meet the specific needs of each region. This flexibility allows municipalities to use revenue to preserve their unique heritage, manage the impact of tourism and promote their attractions in a sustainable way.

New Introduced

The 2024 Budget Law has made significant changes to the management of the tourist tax in Italy, introducing the possibility for local authorities to increase the tax up to a maximum of 2 euros per night per person. This increase was designed to finance specific local needs and projects, in particular in view of major events such as the 2025 Jubilee.

Purpose of the Increase

Financing for the Jubilee 2025 : The Jubilee is an event of great importance that requires substantial preparations, especially in cities of greater historical and religious interest such as Rome. The increase in the tourist tax will help finance the infrastructure and services necessary to manage the expected increase in visitors.
Coverage of waste collection and disposal costs : With the increase in tourist flows, urban cleaning and maintenance services are also intensifying. The increase in the tourist tax will help cover the additional costs for waste collection and disposal, helping to keep the urban environment clean and welcoming.

Implications for Local Authorities and Tourists

Greater Flexibility for Municipalities : Local authorities will be able to take advantage of this new flexibility to adapt the rates of the tourist tax to their specific needs, balancing financing needs with tourist attractiveness.
Impact on Tourists : Although the increase may slightly affect the cost of accommodation for tourists, the funds raised are intended to improve the quality and sustainability of the tourist experience, as well as finance projects of cultural and environmental importance.

The changes introduced by the 2024 Budget Law represent an important adjustment in the management of the tourist tax in Italy, reflecting a response to current and future needs related to tourism and the conservation of cultural heritage. This increase, although it may be perceived as an additional burden on visitors, is essential to ensure that Italian cities can continue to offer a high-quality tourist experience, particularly in view of international events such as the 2025 Jubilee.

5. Management and Declaration of the Tourist Tax

Responsibility of accommodation facilities.

Accommodation facilities have the important responsibility of collecting, declaring and paying the tourist tax to the municipal authorities. This process requires special attention to ensure that all procedures are followed correctly.

Declaration Procedure

Tax Collection :Properties must collect the tax from their guests, typically at check-out.
Recordkeeping and Record Keeping : It is essential to maintain an accurate record of all guests and tourist taxes collected, often required by municipal regulations.
Periodic Declaration : The facilities must periodically declare (monthly or quarterly, depending on the municipality) the total amount of the tax collected and pay it to the local administration.

Penalties for Failure or Incorrect Declaration

Heavy sanctions : Failure or incorrect declaration of the tourist tax can result in significant penalties, which can vary from 100% to 200% of the amount due. These sanctions highlight the importance of careful and precise management.
Checks and controls : Local authorities can carry out checks and checks to ensure that accommodation facilities comply with tourist tax regulations.

Tips for Effective Management

Management software : Using hotel management software that tracks accommodation taxes and facilitates the filing process can be very helpful.
Staff training : Ensure that all staff are adequately trained on the procedures for collecting and declaring the tourist tax.
Communication with Guests : Inform guests about the tourist tax, both at the time of booking and upon arrival, to avoid misunderstandings and ensure transparency.

Correct management of the tourist tax is crucial for accommodation facilities. It not only ensures compliance with local regulations and avoids heavy fines, but also helps support the municipality's efforts in improving tourism offerings and preserving cultural and environmental heritage. For this reason, it is important for each accommodation facility to dedicate the resources necessary for efficient and precise management of this important tax.

6. Impact of the Tourist Tax on Tourists and Local Tourism

Perception by tourists.

The tourist tax, although an additional cost for tourists, is generally considered a small price to pay to contribute to the preservation and improvement of the destinations they visit. However, transparency in communicating this tax is crucial to avoid misunderstandings or negative perceptions.

The tourist tax, or so-called “climate tax”, is an integral part of a stay in destinations with scenic qualities and unique climatic characteristics. You may or may not agree with this fact, but one thing is certain – you have to pay!

Italian tourist tax what is it and how much?

From North to South, there are several cities that will ask for your contribution during your hotel/self-catering/B&B stay on their territory. Introduced with the Tax Federalism Act of 2011, the tourist tax is the tax set directly by the Municipality of reference, which decides the amount and the methods of application.

For example, there are cities where this applies only to some categories of hotels, while in others only for high season periods. There is no obligation to apply; each city is free to decide whether to make its tourists pay a contribution. There are over 1000 municipalities where this tax is due;

The tourist tax is a tax that must be paid per person for each night of your stay. A contribution that tourists pay directly to the accommodation used during their holiday. This tax has variable costs depending on the municipality and is collected by hotels, bed and breakfasts, hostels and campsites. Even for Airbnb customers, the fee is now mandatory when renting a room or an apartment.

To date, the tourist tax depends on various factors such as the number of stars and nights spent in the hotel. Generally, the amount of tourist tax ranges from €1 to €5 per day per person.

Each Municipality can decide independently not only the rate that the tourist has to pay per day but also for how many days it applies. For example, in large cities, it ranges from €3 to €7 in Rome and from €2 to €5 in Milan, while Florence has decided for €5 a day per person down to €1 if you sleep in a farmhouse or bed-and-breakfast.

The fee can be paid in cash or by card, at the end of the stay, directly to the tourist facility manager, who must issue a nominative payment receipt (keeping the copy as normal), or enter the relative amount on the invoice showing it as “VAT free charge”.

The tourist tax is applicable also to those who have paid their holiday through their tour operator or travel agent in their own country.

They are normally exempt from paying the tourist tax:

the residents; children up to 10 or 14 years; the disabled; carers of disabled people or those in serious health conditions; patients and carers admitted to health facilities;

Where do I pay the tourist tax?

In 2011, there were only 13 Municipalities claiming the tourist tax from tourists. Over the years, more and more mayors have taken advantage of this tool, also because it is one of the few taxes that does not impact directly on the citizens’ pockets.

In cities, such as in Matera, the tourist tax rates have doubled: €2 for two and three-star hotels and €4 for 4-to-5-star hotels.

But in which cities do you pay the most? Looking at the ranking of Italian cities with the highest tourism tax, we find Rome in the first position, followed by Venice, Florence and Milan.

In the Italian capital, a family comprising a father, a mother and a child over the age of 10, staying in a 3-star hotel for 3 days spends €24, €17.50 in Venice, €14 in Florence, €12 in Milan and Viareggio, €8 in Bologna and €6 in Naples.

In Sicily, the most expensive tourism tax is in Palermo, with a tax of 0.50 cents per night per person in a 1-star hotel and up to €3 a night in the most luxurious facilities.

To give you a more precise idea, here is a table showing the tax amounts (we have selected only a part of the Municipalities where it applies):

Traveling in Italy and the Tourist Tax

The fall is a glorious time of year to travel to Italy. While many readers of the Italian Tribune have already made their plans, there are some things to be aware of for first time travelers to Italy and even for some seasoned visitors. A growing number of tourist destinations around the world now add in an additional tax for stays. Since 2011, all municipalities have been authorized to levy a tax on anyone staying overnight in tourist accommodations, with the tax to be paid directly by the visitor.

To be accurate, Italy has been taxing tourists since 1910. It began with a tax on beach resorts that was gradually extended to other vacation destinations. That levy was withdrawn in 1989, only to be reintroduced in Rome two decades later and then extended to all of Italy.

The concept behind the tax is that since visitors use facilities and services during their trips that are paid for by local residents’ taxes, the tassa di soggiorno , or occupancy tax, passes on some of that cost to tourists themselves. The funds collected are earmarked for public services that benefit both tourists and locals, such as maintaining city cultural centers, running public transportation, as well as putting on cultural events.

Local councils have the right to decide whether to impose such a tax and many of Italy’s most popular destinations have done so, including Rome, Venice, Florence, Naples, Milan, Bologna, Turin, the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre and the Lake Como area. Anyone staying in tourist accommodations in these areas has to pay the charge directly to their host. The same rules apply to both foreign nationals and Italian citizens. Additionally, although each area provides an exemption from the occupancy tax for children, the age limit varies considerably. In Milan and Naples, the exemption applies for those who are less than 18, but in Sorrento, the exclusion applies to those who are less than six years of age. There may be other exemptions for senior citizens, guests with disabilities and students.

The occupancy tax is calculated per adult guest, per night. The exact rate is at the discretion of the local council, which is why visitors are charged different amounts in different parts of Italy and different amounts, based upon the type of accommodations.

As an example, in Rome, a stay in a one and two-star hotels carries a surcharge of €3, but it increases incrementally to €7 for five-star hotels. This would add €56 to a four-night stay for two people. Florence is a bit less, topping out at €5 per person, per night in a five-star hotel. In Venice, there are different rates charges depending upon whether you stay in the historic center, on other islands or on the mainland. Many places also set a cap on how many nights are taxed. Florence only taxes the first seven nights of a stay, while in Rome, the limit is ten nights for hotels. Some towns lower their rates in the off-season or waive the tax altogether.

Celebrating the Feast of the Seven Fishes with 7 Delicious Preps

Visitors are sometimes surprised to find the need to pay extra upon arrival when they believe that they have already paid for the room in full. Such is the case if the occupancy tax had not been added in already. In most of the major hotels, the fee is already included and clearly marked on the bill.

Finally, Venice has announced it will introduce a landing fee aimed at those who visit the city without staying overnight. Effectively, it is an entry charge that will range from €2.50 – €10, depending on the season and it will apply to all non-residents arriving in the historic center, though not to visitors who have reserved accommodations and will instead pay the occupancy tax. The fee will go into effect in January 2020. But even with the additional fees associated with travel – there is still no place like Italy.

Occupancy tax collection and remittance by Airbnb in Italy

Tourist tax collection and remittance options in italy.

In light of the 2024 Budget Law amendment to Law Decree 50/2017 effective 1 January 2024, Airbnb has the obligation to collect Tourist Taxes on behalf of short term rentals for stays up to 30 days (“locazione breve”). If you are a short term rental Host in a municipality that imposes a Tourist Tax, Airbnb will collect and remit this on your behalf. This list provides the short term rental categories for which we will collect and remit Tourist Taxes.

I’m a host offering other types of accommodations that do not qualify as a short-term rental (e.g. an extra-hotel accommodation facility): what should I do?

If you are a host offering other types of accommodations that do not qualify as a short-term rental (i.e. a listing with a category that is not on this list) and your municipality imposes a Tourist Tax, you are responsible for collecting and remitting tourist taxes.

To learn more about how to collect tourist taxes manually, see How does manual occupancy tax collection and payment work?

My City opted to use the pass through tax feature where I set up the rules in my account and Airbnb remitted the Tourist Taxes to the authorities. What do I do now? Nothing! Airbnb will now collect and remit the Tourist Tax on behalf of short term rentals in your area.

I’m a host offering a short-term rental where Airbnb already collects and remits Tourist Tax: what has changed?

If you are a host with a listing in one of the municipalities listed below (see the “Default Tourist Tax collection and remittance by Airbnb in Italy” section below), Airbnb will continue to collect and remit the Tourist Tax on your behalf unless otherwise noted. There will be no change—Airbnb will continue to collect and remit as we are today. See below for more information.

Find out more about how occupancy tax collection and remittance by Airbnb works .

Note: Hosts located in these areas are responsible for assessing all other tax obligations, including state and city jurisdictions. Hosts with listings in these areas should also review their agreement with Airbnb under the Terms of Service and familiarize themselves with the Occupancy Tax provisions which allow us to collect and remit taxes on their behalf and explain how the process works. Under those provisions, hosts instruct and authorize Airbnb to collect and remit Occupancy Taxes on their behalf in jurisdictions where Airbnb decides to facilitate such collection. If a host believes applicable laws exempt the host from collecting a tax that Airbnb collects and remits on the host's behalf, the host has agreed that, by accepting the reservation, the host is waiving that exemption. If a host does not want to waive an exemption the host believes exists, the host should not accept the reservation.

These are all the destinations you’ll need to pay extra to visit this year

More and more popular travel destinations are introducing tourist taxes to tackle problems caused by overtourism – here’s what you’ll have to pay

This year, international travel is forecast to bounce back to the highest levels since 2019 – and while that’s great news for the tourism industry in general, many cities, attractions and entire regions are suffering under the weight of overtourism .

The potential for damage to historic sites, unhinged tourist behaviour and the simple issue of overcrowding are all common consequences of overtourism. That’s why a growing list of popular travel destinations have introduced a tourist tax, with the hopes of controlling visitor numbers and improving local infrastructure to better cater to higher visitor capacity.

Many countries and cities introduced a tourist tax in 2023, and many more are due to launch theirs in 2024. Tourist taxes aren’t a new thing – you’ve probably paid one before, tied in with the cost of a plane ticket or the taxes you pay at a hotel.

However, more destinations than ever before are creating this fee for tourists, and many places have increased the cost of existing ones. Here’s a full list of all the destinations charging a tourist tax in 2024, including all the recently introduced and upcoming tourist taxes you need to know about.

Austria charges visitors a nightly accommodation tax which differs depending on province. In Vienna or Salzburg , you could pay 3.02 percent per person on top of the hotel bill.

Belgium , like Austria, has a nightly fee. Some hotels include it in the rate of the room and add it separately to your bill, so read it carefully.

The rate in Brussels is charged per room, and varies depending on the size and rating of your hotel, but is usually around €7.50. Antwerp also charges per room.

Bhutan has always been known for its steep tourist taxes and charges. In 2022, the Himalayan kingdom tripled the amount it charged visitors in tax to a minimum of $200 per day , but that amount has since been lowered. In 2024, the daily fee for the majority of visitors is $ 100, and that is due to continue until August 31, 2027.

Bulgaria applies a fee to overnight stays, but it reaches a maximum of only €1.50.

Caribbean Islands

The following Caribbean Islands charge a tourist tax, ranging from between €13 to €45: Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Bonaire, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Dominica, the Dominican Republic , Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, and the US Virgin Islands.

The tax tends to be tied into the cost of a hotel or a departure fee.

Croatia only charges its visitors a fee of 10 kuna (€1.33) per night during peak season.

Czechia (also known as Czech Republic)

Czechia only applies a fee to those travelling to Prague . It doesn’t apply to those under the age of 18, and is less than €1 per person, per night.

France ’s ‘taxe de séjour’ varies depending on city, and tends to be added to your hotel bill. It varies from €0.20 to €4 per person, per night.

Earlier this month, Paris announced it would be increasing its fee by up to 200 percent for those staying in hotels, Airbnbs, and campsites, but that it plans to put the funds towards improving the city’s services and infrastructure.

READ MORE: The cost of visiting Paris will soar this summer – here’s why

Germany charges visitors a ‘culture tax’ (kulturförderabgabe) and a ‘bed tax’ (bettensteuer) in certain cities, including Frankfurt , Hamburg and Berlin , which tends to be around five percent of your hotel bill.

Greece ’s tourist tax is based on numbers. Specifically, how many stars a hotel has, and the number of rooms you’re renting. The fee was introduced by the Greek Ministry of tourism to help pay off the country’s debt, and can be anything from €4 per room.

Hungary charges visitors four percent of the price of their room, but only in Budapest .

Iceland is introducing a tourist tax to protect its ‘unspoilt nature’ this year, which will cost between €4 to €7 per night. It comes after annual tourist numbers reached an estimated 2.3 million per year.

In Indonesia , the only destination which charges a tourist tax is Bali , and the fee is set to increase this February to $10 (£7.70, €8.90, IDR 150,000) – but is a one-time entry fee, not a nightly tax. It apparently goes towards protecting the island’s ‘environment and culture.’

Much like in France, Italy ’s tourist tax varies depending on your location. Rome ’s fee is usually between €3 to €7 per night, but some smaller Italian towns charge more.

Venice finally announced in September that its tourist tax, a €5 (£4.30, $5.40) fee which will be applicable on various days during high season, will launch in 2024. It only applies to day-trippers rather than those staying overnight, though.

Japan has a departure tax of around 1,000 yen (€8).

Malaysia has a flat-rate tax which it applies to each night you stay, of around €4 a night.

New Zealand

New Zealand ’s tax comes in the from of an International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy of around €21 which much be paid upon arrival, but that does not apply to people from Australia.

Netherlands

The Netherlands has both a land and water tax. Amsterdam is set to increase its fee by 12.5 percent in 2024, making it the highest tourist tax in the European Union.

Portugal has a low tourist tax of €2, which applies to all those over the age of 13. It’s only applicable on the first seven nights of your visit and applies in 13 Portuguese municipalities, including Faro, Lisbon and Porto.

Olhão became the latest area to start charging the fee between April and October. Outside of this period, it gets reduced to €1 and is capped at five nights all year round. The money goes towards minimising the impact of tourism in the Algarve town.

Slovenia also bases its tax on location and hotel rating. In larger cities and resorts, such as Ljubljana and Bled, the fee is higher, but still only around €3 per night.

Spain

Spain applies its Sustainable Tourism Tax to holiday accommodation in the Balearic Islands to each visitor over the age of sixteen. Tourists can be charged up to €4 per night during high season.

Barcelona ’s city authorities announced they plan to increase the city’s tourist tax over the next two years – the fee is set to rise to €3.25 on April 1, 2024. The council said the money would go towards improving infrastructure and services. This is in addition to regional Catalan tax.

Switzerland

Switzerland ’s tax varies depending on location, but the per person, per night cost is around €2.20. It tends to be specified as a separate amount on your accommodation bill.

Thailand

Thailand introduced a tourist tax to the price of flights in April 2022, in a similar effort to the Balinese aim of moving away from its rep as a ‘cheap’ holiday destination. The fee for all international visitors is 300 baht (£6.60, $9).

The US has an ‘occupancy tax’ which applies across most of the country to travellers renting accommodation such as hotels, motels and inns. Houston is estimated to be the highest, where they charge you an extra 17 percent of your hotel bill.

Hawaii could be imposing a ‘green fee’ – initially set at $50 but since lowered to $25 – which would apply to every tourist over the age of 15. It still needs to be passed by lawmakers, but if approved, it wouldn’t be instated until 2025.

The European Union

Finally, the European Union is planning on introducing a tourist visa , due to start in 2024. The €7 application will have to be filled out by all non-Schengen visitors between the ages of 18 and 70, including Brits and Americans.

Airbnb Agrees To Collect and Pay Tourist Taxes in Italy

Srividya Kalyanaraman , Skift

February 12th, 2024 at 10:22 AM EST

This collection and remittance is separate from Airbnb’s tax settlement of $620 million with Italy in December 2023.

Srividya Kalyanaraman

A new Italian law requires platforms like Airbnb to collect and remit tourist taxes in Italy. It starts Thursday, February 15, and Airbnb said it will comply beginning with more than 1,200 towns and cities.

Airbnb will be required to determine the tourist tax for qualifying stays, using the local rate in the listing’s location. For instance, in Venice it is €1 ($1.08) – €5 ($5.39) per night. In Rome, it ranges between €3 ($3.23) to €7 ($7.54) and in Milan, between €2 ($2.15 ) to €5 ($5.39).

“We will automatically collect the amount required for each stay and remit this in full to the local authority on a routine basis, in accordance with local terms,” Airbnb said in a statement.

The company also committed to complying with the new national regulations governing short-term rentals. These regulations include the establishment of a national registration system and will be reinforced by data gathered through EU-wide guidelines promoting home-sharing platforms like Airbnb.

Tax Evasion Claim Against Airbnb

This collection and remittance is separate from Airbnb’s tax settlement of $620 million with Italy in December. That involved the company failing to withhold taxes from landlord’s rental income.

In November, an Italian judge had ordered the seizure of €779.5 million ($836.40 million) from Airbnb’s Ireland unit for alleged tax evasion . The issue involved Airbnb’s alleged failure to withhold 21% of landlords’ rental income and pay it to Italian tax authorities for years 2017-2021.

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni then committed to tightening measures against tax evasion associated with short-term rentals, with plans to increase the tax rate for owners from 21% to 26%.

Airbnb settled the tax dispute without admitting any liability. The company stated in a financial filing that it does not plan to recover tax withholdings from affected hosts for audited periods (tax years), though it seeks information on hosts’ taxes paid for 2022 and 2023.

The company said that as of the third quarter in 2023, it has generated more than $9 billion in tax revenues for authorities globally. And there will be more to come.

Amsterdam will raise its tourist tax on short-term rentals and hotel rooms to 12.5% in 2024, making it the highest tourist tax rate in Europe. Currently at 7%, the tax is set to rise to 12.5%, resulting in a notable increase in nightly costs for visitors.

Italy Posts Highest 2023 Budget Deficit in EU by Far in Latest Revision

New buildings under construction are seen in Milan April 18, 2012. REUTERS/ Stefano Rellandini/ File photo

By Giuseppe Fonte

ROME (Reuters) - Italy last year posted by far the highest budget deficit-to-GDP ratio in the European Union, the bloc's statistics arm Eurostat reported on Monday, after Rome's 2023 fiscal gap widened to 7.4% of gross domestic product from a 7.2% estimate issued in March.

The latest figure is more than twice the 3.5% average of the 27 EU countries and underscores the Treasury's difficulties in getting the country's public finances under control.

In all, 11 countries reported deficits above the EU's 3% of GDP ceiling, including France at 5.5%.

The European Commission is expected to invoke its deficit infringement procedure for all these states, Italian Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said this month.

The only other countries with deficits above 5% last year were Hungary (6.7%), Romania (6.6%) and Poland (5.1%), all of which are outside the 20-nation euro zone.

Italy's latest upward revision highlights the government's miscalculations of the impact of costly fiscal incentives for energy-saving home improvements.

In April last year the Treasury targeted a 2023 deficit of 4.5%. In September it revised that up to 5.3%. On March 1, official data from national statistics bureau ISTAT reported it at 7.2%, before Monday's fresh upward revision to 7.4%.

The revision factored in updated figures on the take-up of the incentives, especially the contested "Superbonus" scheme which offered to pay homeowners 110% of the cost of the energy-saving renovations.

Introduced in 2020 and due to be gradually phased out by the end of next year, the Superbonus forked out more than 160 billion euros ($170 billion) as of April 4, the government said this month, far above any previous government estimate.

Addressing parliament on the Treasury's multi-year budget framework, Italy's central bank said on Monday the Superbonus cost almost 4% of GDP in 2023 alone, more than five times what Rome had estimated last April.

"In introducing new incentives, it will be necessary to avoid repeating the mistakes that have characterized these recent measures," the Bank of Italy told lawmakers.

The bank also warned that Rome's goal of extending to 2025 temporary tax cuts for low- and middle-income earners would increase "uncertainty" over the public finance trend.

Italy's public debt, the second largest in the euro zone as a proportion of output and under close scrutiny by rating agencies and markets, will follow a rising trend towards 140% of GDP through 2026, according to the latest Treasury forecasts.
