Cabras, chaos on the tourist tax: there are those who have not paid and those who have paid more than they should

But how much confusion does the tourist tax create? In Cabras, in the office that deals with managing the tax that tour operators pay into the municipal coffers each year based on the number of people housed in their accommodation facilities, everything and more is happening.

While waiting for the employees to finish processing all the data to know the total amount arrived in the municipal coffers, curious situations are recorded. The mayor Andrea Abis tells some episodes: “Several operators paid the money without sending the declaration, therefore without the relative documentation certifying the amount paid. Others, on the other hand, denounced what they received without paying the money. But some have paid even more. But then unfortunately there are also those who have not paid the tax . Reason for which checks will start shortly ".

In the next few days it will be possible to know how much the tourist tax has paid for the season just passed. “Certainly much more than last year - continues Abis -. In 2021 the Municipality had raised about sixty thousand euros from the tourist tax. Plus the 40 thousand euros that had been financed by the state due to the presence of Covid. Considering that this year there were a lot of tourists since May due to the high temperatures, we expect important numbers ".
