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.
Booking platforms, owners and tenants that collect booking fees of $75,000 or more per year must lodge and pay the levy quarterly.
Booking platforms, owners and tenants that collect booking fees less than $75,000 per year must lodge and pay annually (period ending 31 December).
You must register before the end of the first period in which you are liable for the levy.
