How should owners specify the tourist tax on Dobovo?

You are here:

At present, Dobovo.com has no separate automated field or dedicated tool for calculating the tourist tax and including it in the final booking price.

Since this tax cannot be collected from guests automatically when they pay on the website, you, as the owner, must inform them in advance that it needs to be paid before check-in.

The most effective way to do this is to clearly state the terms in your listing’s House Rules.

For example:

Please note: The tourist tax is not included in the accommodation price. Where it is payable under applicable law, it must be paid separately before check-in, in accordance with the law and the relevant local council’s decision.

  • Tourist tax rate for domestic tourism: [Enter the amount, for example: UAH 40] per person per day.
  • Tourist tax rate for inbound tourism: [Enter the amount, for example: UAH 200] per person per day.

The tax is not charged to individuals who are exempt under the Tax Code of Ukraine, provided they present documents confirming their right to an exemption.

Before publishing these terms, check the current rates, payment procedures and list of authorised tax collection agents under the relevant local council’s decision. The amounts of UAH 40 and UAH 200 in the example are illustrative — replace them with the rates that apply to your property.

The collection of tourist tax is governed by Article 268 of the Tax Code of Ukraine.
