The formula is the same everywhere in Italy: rate per person per night × guests who pay × taxable nights. What changes are the three inputs, because every Comune (municipality) sets them in its own regulation under article 4 of Legislative Decree 23/2011:
- The rate depends on the type of accommodation and, for hotels, the star rating. Some cities use price bands (in Bologna the amount depends on the price per person per night), seasonal rates (Cagliari in July–September) or zones (Genoa by district).
- The guests who pay are those not exempt. The age exemption differs from city to city, and the exact wording matters: “under 14” is not the same as “aged 14 or under”.
- The taxable nights are the nights of the stay up to the cap on consecutive nights: beyond the cap, nothing more is due.
The calculator applies these rules for you. The result is the amount to collect from the guest and pass on to the Comune by its deadlines; each city guide explains the portal, the deadlines and the penalties.

| Bologna, flat at €150 a night for 4 adults, 3 nights | €150 ÷ 4 = €37.50 per person → €5.80 band; 4 × 3 × €5.80 | €69.60 |
Who pays the tourist tax and who remits it
The guest pays, but since 2020 (art. 180 of Decree-Law 34/2020) whoever runs the accommodation, short lets included, is responsible for payment: you collect it, report it and pass it to the Comune, and if a guest doesn’t pay, you still owe it. Every year you also file an annual return by 30 June of the following year. The full picture is in our guide to Italy’s tourist tax on short-term rentals, and hotel rates by stars in the big cities are in the guide to the tourist tax in Italian hotels.
Watch out for Airbnb bookings: in several cities the platform collects and pays the tax itself, so you must not charge the guest again. For Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan, see the city guides: Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan.
How Maurice works out and collects the tourist tax
Doing the sum once is easy; getting it right on every booking, with children, long stays and bookings from different channels, is another matter. Maurice applies your Comune’s rules to every booking: rate, exemptions, night cap and the exception for bookings where a platform already collects. It then collects the amount by card during online check-in, together with the guests’ documents, and keeps the data ready for your reports and annual return.
Tourist tax calculator: frequently asked questions
How is the tourist tax calculated in Italy?
Multiply the Comune’s rate per person per night by the number of guests who aren’t exempt and by the nights of the stay, up to the cap on consecutive nights set by the regulation. Some cities use price bands, seasonal rates or zones: the calculator takes them into account.
Do children pay the tourist tax?
Almost everywhere children up to a certain age are exempt, but the age differs by city: in Palermo children under 12 are exempt, in Verona those under 15. The calculator shows the rule of the city you choose.
Is there a maximum number of nights?
Yes, most Comuni set a cap on consecutive nights beyond which nothing is due: 4 nights in Palermo, 7 in Turin, 14 in Naples. The calculator applies the cap and tells you how many nights were counted.
Does the tourist tax apply to short-term rentals?
Yes. Where the Comune applies it, it also covers short lets and holiday homes, often with a rate of their own. The host is responsible for payment, except for bookings where the platform collects and pays it.
If a guest books on Airbnb, do I collect it?
It depends on the city: in several Comuni Airbnb collects and pays the tax on bookings made on the platform, in others it doesn’t. Check the city guide before asking the guest for the amount.
Is the calculator up to date?
Every city shows its official source and the date of the last check. When a Comune publishes new rates, for example for 2027, we update the city and its guide.
