According to Decree Law 12/2021, of 18 May, and in relation to the tax on stays in tourist establishments, the entry into force of the increase in the tariffs for the tourist tax is postponed to 1 October. 

These tariffs were to be applied from 1 June, but the delicate situation in the tourism sector justifies the postponement of effective implementation after the summer season. The ‘Govern’ is thus intended to promote the revival of the sector.

Amounts are applied per person and day/night with a limit of 7 days/night. Those who manufacture VAT will have to apply the same VAT to the tourist tax.
