Wales: register your accommodation
Since October 2026 every host in Wales must register with the Welsh Revenue Authority, levy or not.
What to do
Register now
Holiday lets, spare rooms, B&Bs, hotels, cabins and campsites all register with the Welsh Revenue Authority. It is free. Penalties apply if you don’t.
Check your council
Councils choose whether to add a levy. The earliest any can start is 1 April 2027, and changes only take effect on 1 April or 1 October.
Price for the levy
Welsh levies are a fixed amount per guest per night. Cardiff plans £1.30, or 75p in hostels and campsites (not yet confirmed).
Welsh Government: registering visitor accommodation. Checked November 2026.
