In Yaroslavl, next year they plan to start collecting tourist tax

In Yaroslavl from 2027 intend to introduce a tourist tax. The funds from the new payment will be fully transferred to the city budget. Payers will be organizations and individuals that provide tourists with places for temporary stay in hotels and other classified accommodation facilities.

The main directions of the budget and tax policy of the city for 2027 and the planning period of 2028-2029 were approved by a resolution signed on September 28. The document says that the tourist tax is planned to be established on the basis of Chapter 33.1 of the Tax Code of Russia, primarily to increase revenues of the local budget.

The final rate has not yet been officially fixed. Previously, the option was discussed with a tax of 3% of the cost of living, but not more than 100 rubles per day.

The tax will be paid by the owners or legitimate users of accommodation facilities included in the relevant register of classified objects. We are talking about both organizations and individuals providing services for the accommodation of citizens.
