Register now for the short stay levy

Published on 04 March 2025

From 1 January 2025, the short stay levy applies to short stays (any stay less than 28 consecutive days) in Victorian properties.

Booking platforms and owners/tenants (that accept short stay bookings directly without using a booking platform) must register for the short stay levy.

If you have already registered, no further action is required.

After you register, we will provide resources to help you easily pay the right amount at the right time. To learn more, you can also attend one of our upcoming webinars and refer to our FAQs.

We may investigate and recover unpaid levies plus penalties if you don’t register and pay on time.

You can also now download a template for the booking spreadsheet you need to submit when you lodge a return via our short stay levy portal.
