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.

  1. Register for the short stay levy

    You can register as:

    • an owner (the owner of the property)
    • a booking platform (a platform accepting bookings on behalf of others)
    • a tenant (the person to whom property is let under a residential rental agreement).

    Register as an owner

    To register as an owner, you must provide your:

    • SRO customer number (if you have one)
    • personal details (date of birth, name, email, contact number, ABN (optional), residential address, postal address)
    • the date your first booking ended after 1 January 2025
    • total short stay booking fees in 2024.

    Register as a booking platform

    To register as a booking platform, you must tell us whether you accept bookings as an individual, company or trust.

    To register as an individual, provide the same details as an owner or tenant (above).

    To register as a trust, please contact us.

    To register as a company, you must provide your:

    • company ABN and trading name (optional)
    • trading address and postal address
    • SRO customer number (if you have one)
    • contact person (full name, role, email, contact number)
    • the date your first booking ended after 1 January 2025
    • total short stay booking fees in 2024.

    Register as a tenant

    To register as a tenant, please email us.
