How to pay and report on tourist tax

[sadiksojib35]

The mechanism for paying the tourist tax is still being finalized, but the basic rules can already be identified :

The tourist tax declaration must be submitted to the Federal Tax Service by the 25th day of the month following the reporting quarter. The form will appear later.
Businesses must pay taxes no later than the 28th day of the month following the reporting quarter.
It is known for now that the new tax will not be included in the Unified Tax Payment. It must be transferred separately.
For now, the hotel business still has many questions that require clarification and additions. For example, how to calculate the tax if the guest lives in the hotel at the junction of reporting quarters? Most likely, it will be necessary to start from the date of payment for the stay. As a rule, hotels ask for payment upon arrival.

It will probably be necessary to rely on the payment belarus phone number lead date in the reporting also in the case when the client pays for their stay in full when booking in advance. All these and other issues require clarification for the correct operation of the business under the new rules.

What's the bottom line?
The introduction of a tourist tax should not cause problems for businesses. On the contrary, the new tax should lead to a "whitening" of the market. Also, local authorities will be more interested in creating and developing temporary accommodation facilities. If they want to attract more tourists or other categories of guests, they need to work hard and create good conditions for this.

At the same time, the introduction of the tax should not lead to an increase in prices for hotel services, since the additional percentage will already be included in the payment.

But it is difficult to predict the reaction of tourists. On the one hand, Russians, of course, will not refuse to travel because of the tax. But on the other hand, people may have a logical question: why do you have to pay the minimum 100 rubles per day for a room costing 2 thousand rubles, and for a room costing 10 thousand? These issues need to be resolved.

Main thoughts :

From January 1, 2025, Russia will begin to collect a tourist tax from businesses.
People who rent out their housing on a daily basis will not pay the new tax.
The additional percentage will be included in the guest's receipt.
Local authorities will decide whether to levy the tax or not.
Businesses do not have to pay taxes for guests who belong to privileged categories of citizens.
In 2025, the maximum tourist tax rate will be 1% of the cost of the service, but a minimum of 100 rubles.
