The tourist tax is levied on the taxable persons defined in article L. 2333-29 by landlords, hoteliers, owners, other intermediaries when these persons receive the amount of rent due to them and professionals who, by electronic means, provide a reservation or rental service or put people in touch with each other with a view to rental and who act as payment intermediaries on behalf of non-professional renters.
The tax is levied before the departure of the taxable persons even if, with the consent of the accommodation provider, hotelier, owner or main tenant, payment of the rent is deferred.
