1. What is the purpose of tourist tax?
Since 1 January 2011, tourist tax has been collected in the 12 communes of the Communauté de Communes de Noblat.
Every year in January and October, accommodation providers pay the tourist tax to the Public Treasury. Paid by tourists staying in our region, this tax is used to develop tourism. The amount of this tax is reinvested in tourism projects to develop the tourist offer in Noblat.
The purpose of the tourist tax is to ensure that the local taxpayer does not bear the entire cost of tourism. The revenue from the tourist tax, paid directly into the budget of the Office de Tourisme de Noblat, is used entirely to promote tourism, to improve the welcome and the tourist experience, in particular through the creation and publication of tourist brochures, the creation and hosting of websites, the organisation of EducTours and local professionalisation plans, the funding of a seasonal worker to cope with the influx of visitors during the summer, and even certain permanent or contractual jobs at the tourist office… In short, this local tax can also help to improve the quality of life, benefiting local residents as much as tourists themselves!
2. Understanding tourist tax
The taxe de séjour is a tax levied by accommodation providers or OTAs (Online Tourism Agencies such as Booking.com, Airbnb, Hotel.com and Expedia) on all overnight stays in the Territoire de Noblat.

Please note! As of 1 January 2025, the Haute-Vienne Departmental Council has introduced a Taxe Additionnelle Départementale de Séjour (TADS), which increases the current tourist tax by 10%.
