Register for the short stay levy
Booking platforms and owners or tenants that accept short stay bookings without a booking platform need to register for the short stay levy through our online portal.
If you are an owner or tenant who only accepts bookings through a booking platform, you do not need to register. The booking platform is responsible for registering, lodging and paying the levy.
You must register before the end of the first period in which you are liable for the levy.
