Tourist tax
The Tourist Tax is a contribution from tourists to tourism development initiatives carried out for their benefit. Previously collected by municipalities, it was replaced on January 1, 2017 by an Intercommunal Tourist Tax (TSI) collected by the Greater Calais Terres & Mers Urban Community, as part of the strengthening of its powers in tourism promotion.
What is TSI?
This tax is paid by customers of all commercial accommodation in the area, paid to landlords/hoteliers/owners and collected by the Urban Community "in real terms" based on the host's declarations.
In accordance with the law, all revenue from the Intercommunal Tourist Tax is then paid to the Intercommunal Tourist Office "Calais XXL" in order to support it in its promotional, communication and tourism development activities.

Tourist tax applies to all rentals for payment to people who do not reside in the metropolitan area. It is calculated per night and based on the number of people staying. It applies:
- to professionals (hotels, tourist residences, furnished accommodation, holiday villages, campsites, motorhome areas, etc.)
- to individuals renting all or part of their personal residence.
New reporting procedures
All procedures relating to the inter-municipal tourist tax must now be carried out, for any accommodation located within the territory of the Grand Calais Terres & Mers urban community, from the dedicated digital platform accessible from any computer, smartphone or tablet.
