Detailed Breakdown of Tourist Tax in France
A fixed rate applies staying in classified hotels (varying by star rating). The total tax rate payable by visitors is made up of the municipal rate plus departmental and regional taxes.
The municipal rate is set by local governments (municipalities) within a scale determined by national government. The national government scale in 2024 for the municipal rate staying in classified hotels including palaces is €0.20 – €4.60. The amount of departmental and regional tax is calculated as a percentage of the municipal rate.
In addition, from 1 January 2024 municipalities in the Île-de-France region applying the taxe de séjour are required to also levy a ‘transport’ tax to contribute to the budget of IDFM (Regional Transport Authority) and is added to the municipal, departmental and SGP regional tax rates. The ‘transport’ tax is 200% of the municipal rate. Further information here on provisional legal basis for the ‘transport’ tax approved by national parliament in December 2023 (Article 140 of Finance Bill 2024).
