Tourist tax of the Balearic Islands

Dear Guest,

We would like to inform you that the Balearic Parliament has established a new tax applied to stays in any tourist accommodation in the Balearic Islands since 1st July 2016 (Law 2/2016, on the Tax on Tourist Stays in the Balearic Islands).

The tax amounts to between €4 and €1 per day of stay or fraction thereof, plus 10% VAT. The applicable rate depends on the type of tourist accommodation, as well as its category, according to the following table:

The tax revenue will feed a Fund for the promotion of sustainable tourism, the purpose of which will be to finance projects that contribute to the promotion of sustainable, responsible and high-quality tourism: protection of the natural, rural, agricultural and marine environment; promotion of deseasonalisation; historical and cultural heritage; R&D&I; training and employment.

These projects will be selected by a Commission for the Promotion of Sustainable Tourism made up of representatives of the Balearic Government, Island Councils, City Councils, economic and social agents, and other entities. This Commission will draw up an annual plan that will set the priority annual objectives, with territorial balance criteria.

For any doubts or clarification you may require in relation to the Tax on Tourist Stays in the Balearic Islands, we place at your disposal the information telephone number of the Tax Agency of the Balearic Islands: 901 201 530.

We hope you have a pleasant stay.
Kind regards.
