Register for the short stay levy

If you are accepting bookings for short stays in Victorian property, you may need to register for the short stay levy to lodge and pay your returns. If you have already registered, no further action is required until lodgement and payment of your return is due.

To help you understand about the levy, the State Revenue Office are holding a series of webinars which cover:

• which properties the levy applies to and which properties are excluded
• who pays the levy
• how to calculate the levy
• how to register
• how to lodge a return and make a payment.

The webinars go for one hour and are free to attend.

Booking platforms, owners and tenants that collect booking fees of $75,000 or more per year must lodge and pay the levy quarterly. Booking platforms, owners and tenants that collect booking fees less than $75,000 per year must lodge and pay annually.

If you are a booking platform, or you accept direct bookings for short stays in short stay accommodation, you must register for the levy. After you register, we will provide resources to help you easily pay the right amount at the right time.
