Step 2: Tourist tax declaration
The municipality of La Ciotat has instituted a tourist tax on its entire territory governed by a deliberation voted by its town council. The product of the tourist tax is allocated to expenses intended to promote the tourist frequentation of the town.
All accommodations are concerned as long as the stay is for a fee and this whether you are professional or not, even if it is your main residence.
The tourist tax is paid by the customers of tourist accommodation directly to the accommodation provider or to the online rental platform.
In your capacity as accommodation provider, you are required to collect and pay the tourist tax.
Accommodation providers are required to declare their stays on the tourist tax platform. For more details on the collection of the tourist tax, cases of exemption, applicable rates, payment intermediaries, go to https://laciotat.taxesejour.fr/
