The rate is determined by national government and applicable to nearly all types of accommodation. The President may increase this rate up to three times, reduce to 1% and determine different rates within these limits.

*All services such as food, activity (e.g. golf or spa) are included in the cost of stay if the person is staying in the hotel that provides these services.
If the person uses hotel services but does not stay overnight in the same hotel, this is not taxable.
