Tourist tax

Description

The tourist tax is a new tax paid by the hotel (not the guest). At the same time, it is not necessary to reflect the tour tax in the receipt, but it must be reflected in accounting documents (for example, in invoices). 

A letter from the Department of Tax Policy of the Ministry of Finance, which outlines the main provisions regarding the tourist tax: link Some issues related to the calculation of this tax (see the letter) have not been disclosed. 

It is necessary to pay the tax for the first time after the end of the 1st quarter of 2025. 

Thus, the first thing the hotel needs to do is to start registering guests who belong to preferential categories, so that they do not have to pay tax later. 

The reporting forms have not yet been developed and will be implemented in Shelter Cloud after approval.

General settings

To activate the Tourist Tax Settings section in Shelter Cloud, you need to contact technical support.

After activation, the specified section will be available in the hotel settings.

In this section, you need to configure:

• The list of preferential categories (according to the federal list, but regions can change it);

• Tax rates (sets the region within the boundaries that are defined at the federal level).

Setting up bids

Add a line on the Tax Rates tab and specify the period, the rate, and the minimum amount per day.

If the bid changes, you need to add a new period with new bid values.
