The new stayover tax, which will be imposed on Greek hotels and rooms to let as of January 1, 2018, will be charged to guests and will not be subject to VAT, the Finance Ministry said on Friday. The announcement came after the Hellenic Federation of Hoteliers (POX) requested details and clarifications surrounding the new tax.
According to the ministry, following an amendment of Article 53 of Law 4389/2016, the new tax will be charged “in every case” to the traveler/guest/user of the room or apartment through a special receipt, which will not be subject to VAT. The ministry said the amendment is expected soon and will apply retroactively from January 1.
The stayover tax will be calculated based on the number of overnight stays and the category of the hotel as follows:
Hotels included in the article 1 of law 4276/2014 (Α’ 155):
1-2 stars 0,50 €
3 stars 1,50 €
4 stars 3,00 €
5 stars 4,00 €
Rented rooms – apartments included in the article 1 of law 4276/2014 (Α’ 155):
1-2 keys 0,25 €
3 keys 0,50 €
4 keys 1,00 €
