vienna ortstaxe

[Lana1094]

Hi everybody!
My german is not so good, so I am a bit confused with calculating ortstaxe. Can somebody please explain by example which number do I put in https://www.wien.gv.at/finanzen/abgaben/ortstaxenrechner.html and how do I know if I belong to "Umsatzsteuerpflichtige Aufenthalte" or "Umsatzsteuerbefreite Aufenthalte"?
I'm sure it's not that complicated, if only someone could explain it to me once.
Thank you in advance!
Bests!

Here's the explanation with examples and a note on local tax:

VAT-registered Airbnb Stay Example:

Nightly charge: €100
Stay duration: 3 nights
Total charge: €300
No breakfast cost to exclude
Enter €300 into the "Umsatzsteuerpflichtige Aufenthalte" on the Ortstaxenrechner tool.
VAT-exempt Airbnb Stay Example:

Nightly charge: €80
Stay duration: 4 nights
Total charge: €320
Breakfast cost: €10 per night (€40 total)
Subtract breakfast cost: €320 - €40 = €280
Subtract 11% for service costs: €280 - €30.8 = €249.2
Enter €249.2 into the "Umsatzsteuerbefreite Aufenthalte" on the Ortstaxenrechner tool.
Local Tax Explanation:
The local tax (Ortstaxe) in Vienna is 3.2% of the accommodation cost minus any exclusions (like breakfast or service costs). This tax is applied per person and per night's stay.

Disclaimer:
This is a general guideline. The actual tax calculation for your Airbnb listing may vary. Consult the City of Vienna's tax guidelines or a tax professional to ensure accurate tax reporting and compliance. For further details and tax tool usage, refer to the City of Vienna's official website.
