The tourist tax (turystyczny podatek) is levied in the form of a climate fee (klimatyczna opłata) which comprises a local fee (lokalna opłata) or spa fee (uzdrowiskowa opłata) per person per day.

Local fee (if stay over 24 hours) – is paid in destinations designated as having favourable climate conditions, areas of natural beauty, or towns granted the status of a spa protection area. No local fee is charged to visitors if they pay the spa fee.

Spa fee (if stay over 24 hours) – is paid in towns designated as health resorts.

The Commune Council determines the destinations that meet these conditions to be able to levy a local or spa fee.

The rate is decided by local governments (municipalities) but is capped by national government Act on Local Taxes and Fees (Article 17 and 19).

2020 cap rates (Article 19 point 1 b,c,d)
Local fee – 2.31 PLN (€0.55) per person per day
