Tourist tax

Created by a law of 1910, the tourist tax is instituted on the initiative of the municipalities realizing expenses favoring the reception of tourists. Originally, it could only be instituted by classified tourist resorts. This possibility has been extended over the years, to mountain towns in 1985, a year later to coastal towns, in 1988 to towns carrying out tourism promotion actions and, finally, to towns carrying out protection and management of their natural spaces in 1995. It became instituted by the public establishments of inter-municipal cooperation (EPCI) which respect the conditions applicable to the municipalities from the year 1999.

Since June 29, 2022, the community of communes Coteaux Arrats Gimone has decided to introduce a community tourist tax.

This real tax applies to the entire territory of the community of communes Coteaux Arrats Gimone. It must be paid by all accommodation providers, hoteliers and owners of accommodation for persons residing for consideration in the territory, between January 1 and December 31.

The product of the tourist tax will be exclusively allocated to expenses intended to promote the territory and to encourage its tourist frequentation.
