Me too!
Thereās a good Taxe de SĆ©jour tarifs by commune site here:
Ashley Iād ask your booking platform for confirmation theyāve handed over the TdS on your behalf - then you can provide it to your local tax office / mairie / tourist office. Althoughā¦I thought the main booking platforms only started collecting as from 01 Jan 2019ā¦
Hi Simon, thanks as a first port of call. I am going to check that the booking agents are collecting and paying out the TDS.

However, as far as Iām aware this has already been dealt with by the booking company.

Iām not sure all the booking platforms are setup to collect the TdS as yet, HomeAway seem to be but I know of others that arenāt, is the money passed to the owner with the onus on him/her to declare and hand it over to the impots?
HomeAway and AirBnb both collect and settle (with the fisc) TDS as do Booking.com if they handle your payments.
Thereās the thing Simon, with many sites simply advertising portals who donāt handle the bookings/payments it will still be down to the owner to register, collect the TdS and pass it over, I guess the fisc has to start somewhere though. We encourage our rental clients to comply with the rules but the majority donāt sadly.
Yep - I have direct bookings and those via sites who donāt collect TdS - no problem though I just collect from the clients, declare and settle direct with my local tax office every 4 months. I give them a pretty little Tourisme AriĆØge receipt which thanks them for supporting local tourism initiatives - although Iām never quite sure where the TdS bunce goesā¦into the big melting pot of taxes I assume
(woops - just read that back and it sounds cynicalā¦)
These are the 2 organisations that I currently use, so that is good to have that confirmed.
@anon87147852 airbnb donāt collect all over France, just certain places. I guess places where there are enough airbnbāers to make it worth their while. So still need to check.
Yes thatās right - you can check if your property/ies is covered on their site. I guess there must be enough airbnbāers in small Pyreneen villages to make it worth their while! Iām one of 2 in my village but there you goā¦
