THE SPECIAL CASE OF NON-CLASSIFIED ACCOMMODATION

Since 1 January 2019, the rate of the tourist tax for unclassified accommodation or accommodation awaiting classification (excluding outdoor accommodation and bed and breakfast) becomes variable and is calculated according to a percentage.

What accommodation is affected?

1. unclassified tourist hotels
2. unclassified tourist residences
3. unclassified* furnished tourist accommodation and bed and breakfast
4. unclassified holiday villages

* Note that there is no longer any equivalence between labels and rankings.

Labels such as Gîtes de France are no longer considered as a classification, only the classification by decree will be valid.

Contact your label to find out if you have done the classification when you labelled your accommodation.

What is the calculation for unclassified accommodation or accommodation in the process of being classified?

It is 5.5 % of the price of the night per occupant (with a maximum of 3,50€).

How to calculate the amount of the tourist tax?

Example 1 A family consisting of 2 adults and 2 children aged 16 and 19 who have stayed 7 nights in a non-classified furnished accommodation for a price of 840€ will have to pay : 

Rental price per night: 840 €/7 nights = 120€ per night

Price per night: 120€ / 4 occupants = 30€ per night

Rate of the tourist tax per night : 30€ x 5.50 % = 1.65 € of tourist tax

Visitor's tax to be invoiced : 1.65 € x 7 nights x 3 persons liable = 34.65 €.

Example 2 A family consisting of 2 adults and 1 child aged 10 staying 1 night in a non-classified residence for a price of €500 excl:

Price per night: 500 € / 3 occupants = 166.67 € per night

Rate of the tax per night: 166.67 € x 5.5 % = 9.16 € of tourist tax.

As a reminder, the amount of the inter-municipal tourist tax is capped at €3.18 + €0.32 additional tax, i.e. a ceiling of €3.50

Tourist tax to be charged: 3.50 € x 2 taxpayers = 7.00 €.
