Taxă turistică în Anglia: primarii vor putea taxa turiștii

The UK government has allowed local authorities in England to impose a tourist tax of up to 5% on accommodation costs, applicable until 2029. This tax will affect all visitors and types of lodging, including hotels and vacation rentals. While some may set the tax below 5%, opposition exists from certain local administrations. The hospitality industry warns that this could deter tourists and reduce spending significantly, potentially leading to job losses. Studies indicate that many tourists might choose alternative destinations if faced with such a tax. Edinburgh and Manchester have already implemented similar taxes, with Wales planning to introduce one in 2027.
