Tourist tax
On January 1, 2021, the taxe de séjour was being collected nationwide by 83% of municipalities.
Revenues from this tax provide local authorities with additional resources to develop the tourism offer in their areas.
Introduced since 2018 throughout the territory of the Pleyben-Châteaulin-Porzay community of communes(17 communes), this tax is governed by a deliberation voted by the community council.

Tourist tax terms and conditions
The collection period runs from January 1 to December 31 inclusive. The actual tax system applies to all types of taxable accommodation. The taxe de séjour must be levied on persons accommodated in return for payment and who are subject to tax and not exempt. The reason for staying in the area (leisure, business, training, etc.) has no influence on the tax levied by the accommodation provider.
The following are cases of exemption from the taxe de séjour (au réel):
- Minors
- Holders of seasonal employment contracts employed in the local authority's territory
- People benefiting from emergency accommodation or temporary rehousing
- People occupying premises where the rent is less than 1 euro per night.
The taxpayer pays the taxe de séjour to the accommodation provider, who in turn remits all the taxes collected to the local authority on the taxpayer's behalf. When booking a holiday via an online platform, please check that the sums have been collected at the time of booking.

Rates and calculation
The tourist tax rate is set, for each of the 10 types and for each category of accommodation (1 to 5*), per person and per night's stay.
As the Finistère département has introduced an additional tax of 10%, this is established and collected according to the same procedures as the community tax.
Simple and practical, an online calculator is available on the Aulneporzay platform home page (under the heading "Rates and calculation method").
