Tourist tax
What is it?
The municipality collects a tourist tax because tourists make use of facilities within the municipality. Business owners who provide lodging for tourists are required to pay the tourist tax.
If you offer accommodations at your hotel, bed and breakfast, vacation home, or campground, you will receive a tourist tax bill. You may pass this amount on to the guest staying with you.
If your guests live in the same municipality as your business, you do not have to pay a tourist tax for them.
If you make a berth or vessel available, you will receive a water tourism tax bill.
What should I do?
If you rent out a property, you will receive an email in the second quarter of each year asking you to fill out the tourist tax return form. You can use the return form provided for this purpose.

Tourist tax bill
Starting in May, we will send out the tourist tax invoices. These are based on the number of overnight stays reported on the tax return form.
Keep a night log
You are required to maintain a night log. In this log, you must record:
- initials, last name, city of residence, date of birth, nationality, and
passport number of the guest - date of arrival and departure
- number of nights
We have created a sample night log for you to use.
File an objection

Please send your objection to the municipality within 6 weeks of the date shown on the tax assessment notice.
