What is the tourist tax?
The tourist tax is a tax paid by holidaymakers over 18 and collected by hosts or online booking platforms. This applies per person and per night and its amount depends on the type of accommodation and its classification. The tourist tax is then transferred to the Community of Communes of the Pays Foyen and allocated to expenditure intended to promote tourism development.
One-off or regular rental of a gîte, your house, a guest room or a campsite: compulsory declaration of your tourist accommodation.
Before you start renting your accommodation, you must complete a declaration of rental to the town hall of your municipality where the tourist accommodation is located via an adequate cerfa.
Declare and pay your tourist tax
All accommodation providers must collect tourist tax via a free online declaration platform. The declarations are semi-annual, the hosts receive a notification as soon as the declaration periods open.
The access code to the tourist tax declaration platform is sent to you at the start of the declaration period. However, if you do not have an access code, you can request them by email at the address l.bagillet@paysfoyen.fr.
From January 1, 2024, the prices applied in the territory of the Communauté de Communes du Pays Foyen will evolve in accordance with the regulations. These were voted on during the Community Council (deliberation of May 30, 2023).
New in 2024: entry into force of the TAR
From January 1, 2024, the additional regional tax collected for the benefit of the local public establishment “Grand Sud Ouest line company” applies and increases the prices deliberated before July 1, 2023 by 34%. This new tax does not apply to the Dordogne department. Accommodations in the municipality of Port Sainte Foy and Ponchapt are therefore not affected. For more information, contact your Tourist Office.
To find out more about this subject, find a link dedicated to the tourist tax on the Mona website (practical guide) presenting the new Finance Law 2023 which sets the new rules and regulates the TAR.
