In Sardinia, 47 municipalities, 15% of the 377 total, apply the tourist tax. In 2024, the tax brought in €30,370,416, nearly €23 million more than in 2020, when the 32 municipalities that imposed the tax collected €7,382,252.

In four years, there has been a 311% increase, the second highest nationally after Tuscany, and in the last year alone—between 2023 and 2024—a 20% increase, with four municipalities added to the list. Revenue has also increased by over €5 million, given that in 2023, when 43 municipalities applied the tax, they collected €25,216,935 . This is what emerges from data compiled by the Centro Studi Enti Locali (Centro Studi Locali) using data from the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, the Bank of Italy, and ISTAT (National Institute of Statistics).

On a municipal basis, the leading city is Olbia, with €3,274,399 collected in 2024 and a 21% increase in revenue between 2023 and 2024. Alghero follows with €3,001,210 and a 27% increase, then Arzachena with €2,761,596 and Palau with €2,202,289 and a 90% increase. In the island rankings, Villasimius also raised above €2 million in revenue, with €2,075,864 (+4%). Just below this threshold is San Teodoro with €1,819,759 (+66%).

Closer to one million are Cagliari (1,366,606 euros and +13%) , Budoni which suffers a drop of 12% (from 1,407,870 euros in 2023 to 1,236,670 euros in 2024) and Santa Teresa Gallura with 1,474,261 and an increase of 33%.
