How it is calculated
Accommodation tax applies under Article 34 of Expenditure Taxes Law 6802 to overnight stays at hotels, motels, resorts, guesthouses, apart-hotels, hostels, campsites and mountain lodges, and to the meals, activities, pool, sports and spa services sold with them. It is charged on the price before VAT, shown separately on the invoice and left out of the VAT base. The statutory rate is 2%; the President may halve or double it and has set it at 1% until 31 Dec 2026.
Konaklama vergisi = Bedel (KDV hariç) × Oran; KDV = Bedel × KDV oranı; Toplam = Bedel + Konaklama vergisi + KDVAccommodation tax is 1% from 1 May 2026 to 31 Dec 2026 and the statutory 2% outside that period. VAT on overnight stays is 10%. The accommodation tax is not part of the VAT base: both are charged on the same price before VAT.Example
On a ₺5,000 stay before VAT, 1% accommodation tax is ₺50 and 10% VAT is ₺500, so the guest pays ₺5,550.
