New Tourist Tax

From 1 January 2019, the tourist tax is no longer fixed but calculated according to the price of the night / person.

The calculation rules are as follows for unclassified accommodation as is the Passe-Montagne:

• Unclassified or ungraded accommodation, with the exception of outdoor accommodation, is taxed at 5%. This rate will apply to the cost per person of the night within the limit of the rate applicable to 4-star tourist hotels.
• To this tax is added the additional provincial tax of 10% of the tourist tax thus calculated.
• Minors persons are exempt from tax.
• The rate applicable to 4-star tourist hotels is set at € 2.30 for the year 2019
• To facilitate the calculation of Passe-Montagne rates, this age limit applies to "Children" rates (people aged 4 to 18 instead of 4 to 12).

Examples:

For a winter stay of 1 night on weekdays, in period 1, for a group of 1 to 8 people, in the shelter or studio:

Price of the night: 34,70 €
The basic tourist tax = 34.70 x 5%, ie: € 1,735
The basic tourist tax capped = minimum (1,735, 2.30), ie: 1,735 €
The additional departmental tax = basic tourist tax capped x 10%, ie: € 0.1735
The tourist tax / night / pers. = The basic tourist tax capped + The additional departmental tax, that is: 1,9085 €
The total tourist tax / pers. = The tourist tax / overnight stay / pers., Is: 1,9085 €

For a stay in winter, from 2 nights on WE, in period 1, for a group of 9 persons, to the apartment:

Price of the night: 48,10 €
The basic tourist tax = 34.70 x 5%, ie: € 2.405
The basic tourist tax capped = minimum (1,735, 2.30), ie: € 2.30
The additional departmental tax = basic tourist tax capped x 10%, ie: 0,23 €
The tourist tax / night / pers. = The base tourist tax capped + The additional departmental tax, ie: 2,53 €
The total tourist tax / pers. = Tourist tax / overnight stay / pers. x 2, that is: € 5.06

For a winter stay, from one week, in period 1, for a group of 9 people, to the apartment:

Price of the week: 219,00 €
Price of the night: 219,00 € / 7 = 31,29 €
The basic tourist tax = 31,29 € x 5%, ie: 1.56 €
The basic tourist tax capped = minimum (1.56 €, 2.30 €), ie: 1.56 €
The additional departmental tax = basic tourist tax capped x 10%, ie: 0,16 €
The tourist tax / night / pers. = The basic tourist tax capped + The additional departmental tax, ie: 1.72 €
The total tourist tax / pers. = The tourist tax / week / pers. x 7, that is: 12.04 €
