Adding a performance tax to the climate crisis resilience fee.

[Sofronios0]

Good evening dear hosts!
I wish everyone a good year with health and prosperity!
I would like to receive your opinions on a problem that I am facing with the issue of the following tax that has been submitted by the government of Greece of which I am a citizen and resident!
On 31/12/2024, as you will see in the documents below, this specific tax was imposed, in which the visitor is asked to submit 15 euros for each night's stay in high season periods and 4 euros in low season periods.
I would like to emphasize that the tax has nothing to do with the number of people in each reservation!
From one to eight or ten guests, the price is the same and concerns the total number of nights spent in each reservation!

This specific tax is not available exactly as you mention in the menu of the Airbnb platform.
I was informed by the Airbnb help center to mention it in the description, but it does not have enough space in graphic characters to allow for so much analysis and to also contain the description of the accommodation!
Booking displays it in detail to the guest before paying in the following way

10 nights of 100€ = 1000€
75€ cleaning
15 euros tax per night for the climate crisis for 10 nights = 150€
Total 1225€
Can any of you inform me what they have done in a similar case on the Airbnb platform?

Hi @Sofronios0. How long have you been facing this issue? Has there been a recent regulation change in Greece?

I'd be curious to hear how others have navigated this. I've tagged a few hosts who can hopefully provide you with some support.

In the meantime, you might find this Help Center article about Responsible hosting in Greece 👈helpful in finding more information about taxes in your area.

There's also a post in the Community Center about Adding new taxes and updating existing bookings - Greece. 👈

Hope this helps!
