In most municipalities, or group of municipalities, the payment of tourist tax by your guest is mandatory.
For gîtes in the booking module whereby booking and payment is made online via Gites, Gites is obliged to collect the tourist tax and pay it to the local authorities.
The calculation of the rate depends on whether or not your Gite is classified.
We have to rely on the information under the following link:
Important information:
- Please check in every booking enquiry whether tourist tax is included in the cost statement BEFORE you accept the booking. Any problems can then still be resolved. Once you have offered the booking and the guest has accepted your offer, we cannot change the booking anymore.
- If the rate according to your information is not correct, please contact us. We can then check what is wrong. Example: sometimes the name of the town has a different spelling or there has been a regrouping of municipalities, as a result of which the rates cannot be calculated.
- Do not pay the tourist tax yourself if you use our booking system. Your guest would then pay twice. If you receive a request from your municipality to do so anyway, please let them know that the payment is made by Gites Betalingen B.V.
