Tourist tax
What is it?
The municipality levies tourist tax because tourists use facilities in the municipality. Entrepreneurs who offer a place to sleep to tourists pay the tourist tax.
If you offer a place to sleep in your hotel, bed & breakfast, recreational home or campground, you will receive a tourist tax assessment. You can pass this amount on to the tourist who stays overnight with you.
If your guests live in the same municipality where your business is located, you do not have to pay tourist tax for your guests.

Additional information
The person, who offers night accommodation must keep a register: the so-called night accommodation register. The register must be sent to the municipality before January 15 of the new year following the year to which the assessment relates. On the basis of this declaration and the applicable rates, a tourist tax assessment is imposed.
If you pay commuter tax, you do not owe tourist tax.
Objecting
Do you disagree with the assessment? Then you can file an objection. In your objection, state the assessment number and explain why you disagree. Send your objection within 6 weeks after the date on the assessment notice to the municipality for the attention of the tax officer.
