Tourist tax

On the website of Belastingsamenwerking Oost-Brabant, you will find a Digital desk link icon where you can arrange all your local tax matters online. The municipality provides many facilities. Residents (registered residents) contribute to these through municipal taxes. Tourists (and other non-registered people) do so through the tourist tax.

If you offer overnight accommodation on a business basis and/or for a fee, you must pay tourist tax. You may pass on the tourist tax to the person staying overnight with you. You then remit the tax to the municipality. The current rate per person per overnight stay can be found in the Ordinance on the levy and collection of tourist tax.

Before you start offering night accommodation, you must report it to BSOB. Furthermore, you have a duty to keep a night register. This is a continuous register with personal data of your visitors or tenants. You keep a record of overnight stays on the form night . More information can be found on the digital night page.

The municipal BOAs and an external company check for the municipality the maintenance of the night register, and the actual number of overnight stays. They may also visit your business for this purpose.

Are you an operator of a hotel, guest house, group accommodation, campground or Bed&Breakfast? And do you offer overnight stays for a fee to persons who are not registered in the municipality? Then you pay tourist tax. Inspections take place annually on a random basis. You may also receive an invitation for an inspection and information visit.

On behalf of the municipality, Adviesgroep Nederlandse Gemeenten (ANG) checks whether your (water) tourist tax return is correct and complete.

Have you received a letter about a visit and have questions about it? Please contact ANG at telephone number: 085 - 070 1484 or at toeristenbelasting@ang.nl.

The municipality of Gemert-Bakel has adopted the digital night register as a mandatory model for the night register based on the Ordinance on the levy and collection of tourist and for the night register based on the Penal and the General Local .

It is possible to have guests register themselves in the digital night register of the municipality of Gemert-Bakel. This can be done by sending an e-mail to the guest himself or by applying a QR code at the accommodation location itself (for example, on the room or on the reception desk). You then only need to check that the registration has been completed correctly by the person present.
