# Tourist tax: how to see how much you have collected and get the report to declare it

## Which report to use for each piece of data, how to download it, how the amount is calculated and why it sometimes does not match what you collected.

Chekin calculates the tourist tax and collects it from your guests during the online check-in, but **it does not declare or pay it for you**: you do that yourself, through the official channel of your town hall or local authority. Chekin does not generate the official forms either (for example, Form 950 in Catalonia). This article shows you how to get the data you need to do it.

If your property is in Italy and your municipality uses PayTourist, Chekin can send it the data of the stays: see [How to connect PayTourist](https://support.chekin.com/en/how-to-connect-paytourist?hsLang=en).

## Which report to use for each piece of data

| What you need | Where it appears | Keep in mind |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **How much you have actually collected** | **Settings \> Payments**, **Transactions** section, **Download excel** button | This is the figure that counts. The fees are deducted from what the guest paid if you don't pass them on to the guest |
| **Guests and nights for each booking** | **Bookings \> More actions \> Download booking report**, **Number of guests** and **Nights of stay** fields | If a booking has the wrong check-out date or number of guests, so will the report. Correct it before you download the report |
| **Age of each guest** | **Bookings \> More actions \> Download guest report**, **Guest Age** field | One row per guest |
| **Tourist tax amount for each booking** | **Tax amount collected** field in the booking report | It may not match what you collected if the guests changed after paying. For the amount collected, always use **Transactions** |

## Download the booking report or the guest report

1. Go to **Bookings** ([open in the dashboard](https://dashboard.chekin.com/bookings?hsLang=en)).
2. Click **More actions** 1, at the top right.
3. Choose **Download booking report** 2 or **Download guest report** 3. A new page opens.

![Bookings: More actions menu open with the Download booking report and Download guest report options](https://support.chekin.com/hubfs/help-center/articulos-nov-2026/hc25-en-18-1.jpg)

On the **Download booking report** page:

- 1**Select the property** you want the report for.
- 2**Select the dates** (**From → To**): the period you are going to declare. To check which stays are included, also add the **Start date** and **End date** fields.
- 3**Add the fields you would like to include in the report**. For the tourist tax, tick (boxed in the image) **Tax amount collected**, **Tax collection date**, **Guests under X years old**, **Nights of stay** and **Number of guests**.
- Scroll down to the bottom and click **Download report**.

![Download booking report page with the property, the From and To dates, and the tourist tax fields boxed](https://support.chekin.com/hubfs/help-center/articulos-nov-2026/hc25-es-18-2.jpg)

Dashboard shown in Spanish. The numbers match the list above.

The **Download guest report** page works the same way, with one extra step: in **Select type of report**, choose **By check-in date**. To check the guests' ages, use the **Guest Age** field.

## See what you have collected

1. Go to **Settings \> Payments** and scroll down to **Transactions**.
2. Choose the month in **This month** (with the calendar) and the property in **By property** 1.
3. Click **Download excel** 2.

![Settings, Payments, Transactions: month and property filters and the Download excel button](https://support.chekin.com/hubfs/help-center/articulos-nov-2026/hc25-en-18-3.jpg)

Where the money is depends on the gateway you have active in **Settings \> Payments**, **Payment gateway** section:

- **With Chekin Gateway** (Chekin's gateway): the tourist tax goes into your Chekin Wallet as net earnings, and you withdraw it to your bank from there. We explain how in [Chekin Wallet: how it works, earnings and withdrawals](https://support.chekin.com/en/transfer-payments-balance-to-bank-account-chekin-help-center?hsLang=en).
- **With Stripe Gateways** (your own Stripe account): it goes to your Stripe balance, and Stripe transfers it to your bank on its own schedule.

By default, what you receive is the tourist tax minus the fees. If you don't want to cover them, choose to have the guest pay them when you set up the tourist tax. The current fees are in [Payments Activation and Setup](https://support.chekin.com/en/payments-activation-and-setup-chekin-help-center?hsLang=en).

## How the amount is calculated

The tourist tax is set up for each property, in **Tourist taxes**. The steps are in [Activate and Setup Tourist Taxes](https://support.chekin.com/en/activate-and-setup-tourist-taxes-chekin-help-center?hsLang=en). To understand an amount, check these points:

- **Per night or per day.** You choose this in the **Calculation type** step of the setup wizard. If the tax is per day, the check-in day and the check-out day both count. Example: €1.75 per person per day, 2 people and 1 night (2 days) is 1.75 × 2 × 2 = €7.
- **Exempt age.** The wizard asks **Are some guests exempted to pay taxes depending on the age?** (**Yes** / **No**). If you answer **Yes**, in **What is the exempted age range?** you enter the age in the **Age** field, next to **Less than or equal to**: that age is included in the exemption. If you enter 14, guests aged 14 or under do not pay.
- **Other exemptions.** The options in **Select Exemptions** are cases the guest can tick. They do not replace the exempt age. You cannot create exemptions with your own text.
- **Maximum number of nights.** If you answer yes to **Do you have a maximum taxable nights?**, the nights beyond that number do not pay.
- **Exempted booking sources.** Bookings from those channels do not pay the tourist tax, for example if Airbnb already collects it for you.

![Tourist taxes setup wizard, Exemptions - Age exemptions step: the question What is the exempted age range? with Less than or equal to and the Age field](https://support.chekin.com/hubfs/help-center/articulos-nov-2026/hc25-es-18-4.jpg)

Dashboard shown in Spanish.

### If something changes after setup or after payment

- **You change the settings:** when you save, the dashboard asks whether you want to apply the changes to existing bookings. Bookings where the tourist tax has already been paid keep the amount that was paid.
- **A guest is added, or a guest's age goes up, after payment:** the tourist tax becomes pending again and the guest is only asked for the difference.
- **There are fewer guests, or ages go down, after payment:** Chekin does not adjust what has already been paid.
- **The guest has not done the online check-in yet:** the tourist tax is calculated when they complete it. Until then you will not see the amount in the booking.

## Exempt bookings and tourist taxes you pay yourself

An exempt booking (for example, because of its channel) does not ask the guest for the tourist tax. If you have an automation that waits for payment, such as sending the keys, or if you prefer to pay the tourist tax yourself without asking the guest for it, open the booking and use **Mark as paid**: the amount due changes to 0.00 and the guest is not asked for any payment.

## Currency

The tourist tax is collected in the currency set up in your account. It is the same for all payments and for all your properties: you cannot set a different currency for each property. If you need another one (for example, Czech koruna or pounds sterling), write to us from the dashboard chat.

## Common errors and questions

| What happens | Why | Solution |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **The report does not match what I collected** | The tourist tax of the booking can change after payment (guests added or removed), and the fees are deducted from what you collected | For the amount collected, use **Transactions** |
| **A booking shows many more nights than the real stay** | The booking's check-out date is wrong, often because it came like that from the PMS or the channel | Correct the date in the booking ([how to edit a booking](https://support.chekin.com/en/how-to-edit-a-booking?hsLang=en)) and download the report again |
| **My balance is lower than the tourist tax collected** | The fees have been deducted | If you prefer the guest to pay them, change it in the tourist tax settings |
| **The guest paid more than I set up** | The tax is per day and counts the check-in and check-out days, guests were added, or one of them is older than the exempt age | Check the points in “How the amount is calculated”. If it still doesn't add up, write to us with the booking |
| **I changed the tourist tax and existing bookings stay the same** | When you saved, you did not apply the changes to existing bookings, or those bookings had already been paid | Save again and accept applying the changes. Bookings already paid do not change |
| **The tourist tax is in euros and I need it in another currency** | The currency is the one set in your account | Write to us from the dashboard chat |
| **Does Chekin generate the official form or pay the town hall?** | Chekin collects the tourist tax, but declaring and paying it is up to you | Use the reports in this article. In Italy, check whether your municipality uses PayTourist |
