Tourist Tax
The tourist tax has been in effect in the municipality of Antibes Juan-les-Pins since 1973. Its purpose is to improve the tourist experience in the municipality. The tourist tax applies to any person receiving paid accommodation who is not a resident of the municipality and does not own a residence there, for which they are liable to the housing tax. It is collected by the host, who remits it quarterly to the Public Treasury.
The tourist tax rates are set for each type of accommodation and according to its classification, per person and per night of stay. The tourist tax is primarily used to finance tourism promotion activities conducted by the Tourist Office. This resource also supports tourist events organized during the summer to make your guests' stay more enjoyable.
The 2023 Finance Act, passed by Parliament and published in the Official Journal on December 31, 2022, introduces an additional tourist tax to improve low-carbon transportation in our region. This tax is intended to finance the future railway line, which will be essential for residents of the Southern Region, as well as for leisure and business tourists. This major rail project will facilitate travel in the region and reduce the carbon footprint, thereby improving air quality. This additional 34% tourist tax is introduced in the Bouches-du-Rhône, Var, and Alpes-Maritimes departments and is applicable for stays starting January 1, 2023.
Amount of the tax applicable as of January 1, 2025, for hotels, vacation homes, furnished accommodation, and guest houses:
