Tourist/accommodation tax

Municipal authorities receive a certain amount per resident from the national government. If many tourists are staying in a municipal area, the municipal authorities incur a higher cost. For example to keep the streets clean and maintain roads. The municipal authorities pays for these costs from the tourist tax funds.

For whom?

People who have not registered with the municipal authorities. They spend the night in the municipality, for example in a hotel, boarding house, B&B or at a campsite and they pay for this.   Residents who are registered with the municipality do not have to pay tourist tax if they spend the night in their own municipality.
