Presentation

The Communauté de Commune of Ossau Valley has introduced a tourist tax throughout its territory. The tourist tax is paid by holidaymakers to the Tourist Office via the accommodation providers. It is used to finance the development of tourism in the  Ossau Valley.
Since 2018, the tourist tax has been declared and paid via a personal space on the valleedossau.taxesejour.fr platform. This tool enables monthly monitoring of stays and sums collected in respect of tourist tax. Your personal space is created when your furnished accommodation is declared to the town hall : an e-mail containing your login details is sent to you.
There are two types of tariff for your furnished tourist accommodation: 
  • Your accommodation is classified: the rate corresponds to the number of stars your accommodation has been awarded
  • Your furnished accommodation is not classified: the rate corresponds to 5% of the price of the night per person.
The Ossau Valley territory is concerned by the institution of the regional additional tax (TAR) applicable from 1ᵉʳ January 2024 following the 2023 finance law (published in the JORF of 31/12/2022).
The law, via Article L2531-17, Article L4332-4, Article L4332-5 and Article L4332-6 of the CGCT, specifies that the sums are collected for the benefit of the local public establishment "Société du Grand Projet du Sud-Ouest", created in Article 1 of Ordinance no. 2022-307 of 2 March 2022 relating to the Société du Grand Projet du Sud-Ouest, for the financing of the mission defined in the first paragraph of II of the same Article 1ᵉʳ.

Accordingly, the Communauté de Communes de la Vallée d'Ossau has voted to apply new tourist tax rates for 2024 👇
The method for declaring tourist tax varies depending on whether your furnished accommodation is classified or not.
Here are two tutorials to help you make your declarations :
