Declared amounts of the tourist tax in the participating communities increased by 60%.

This draft project involves regular data exchange, joint analytical work, clarification and methodological support, as well as monitoring administration effectiveness.

State Tax Service has also launched analytical dashboard “Tourist Tax Analytics”.
