On November 26, 2021, the Capital’s general councilors adopted a project whereby, in 2022, the special tax for the tourism promotion of Bucharest will be calculated by applying a 0.5% rate to the accommodation tariff for each day of the tourist’s stay, excluding VAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the decision, the payers of the special tourism promotion tax are individuals benefiting from accommodation services in: hotels, apartment hotels, hostels, motels, tourist villas, tourist chalets, bungalows, holiday villages, campsites, tourist stops, camping-type cottages, apartments and rooms for rent in family homes, river and sea vessels, including floating pontoons, tourist guesthouses, and other units with tourist accommodation functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tourist reception structure will be obliged to submit a monthly settlement declaration to the local Sector Directorate of Taxes and Fees, by the 10th day, inclusive, of the month following the one in which the tax was collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of individuals, late submission or failure to submit settlement declarations is sanctioned with a fine between 85-730 RON. For legal entities, fines range between 250-2,200 RON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The objectives pursued by establishing the special tax, according to the cited source, are: increasing the number of tourists in Bucharest, increasing the duration of tourists’ stays, increasing tourism revenues, improving the tourist experience, and increasing investment in tourism services.<\/p>\n\n\n
The tax is set at 0.5% of the accommodation rate for each day of stay, excluding VAT.<\/p>\nWho is responsible for submitting the tax declaration?<\/strong>\n The tourist reception structure must submit a monthly settlement declaration to the local Directorate of Taxes and Fees by the 10th of the following month.<\/p>\nWhat are the penalties for not filing the tax declaration?<\/strong>\n Fines range from 85 to 730 RON for individuals and from 250 to 2,200 RON for legal entities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bucharest Tourism Promotion Tax set at 0.5% of accommodation rates for 2022 On November 26, 2021, the Capital’s general councilors adopted a project whereby, in 2022, the special tax for the tourism promotion of Bucharest will be calculated by applying a 0.5% rate to the accommodation tariff for each day of the tourist’s stay, excluding…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":70292,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2858],"tags":[2888],"thb-sponsors":[],"class_list":["post-117333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tourism","tag-bucharest"],"article_style_override":"on","post-style":"style2","post_via":"","post-top-image":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/turism-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117333"},{"taxonomy":"thb-sponsors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rhn.ro\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thb-sponsors?post=117333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
