Which types of accommodations are affected by Lisbon's municipal tax?
I read on http://www.cm-lisboa.pt/uploads/media/flyerTMT_UK_web.pdf (mirror):
Who pays? The tax on overnight stays is applied to guests over the age of thirteen, per person and per overnight stay, up to a maximum of 7 nights per stay.
Where? Per overnight stay in tourist resorts and local accommodation establishments (hotels, hostels, local accommodation, etc.).
What is the value of the tax? 1 €per night up to a maximum of 7 € (7 overnight stays in a row, per person].
Who is exempt? Guests whose stay is motivated by the need for medical services during the period of hospitalization/ treatment+ 1 additional night [and that of accompanying party).
It is unclear to me what types of accommodations the tax affects. E.g., if I stay at a friend's place, sleep in a public place ( beach / park), or in my car, do I have to pay the tax?
Best Answer
You have to be realistic about these things. Noone is going to keep up a police force over a euro a night. So yes, hotels and such places will pay it for you, even Airbnb will force it but if there's not otherwise a money-collecting, revenue-reporting system in place for the place, you won't.
