Who pays the feeThe tourist tax is paid by citizens of Ukraine, foreigners, and stateless persons as an advance payment to tax agents before temporary accommodation in places of residence.
The following are not payers of the tourist tax: persons with disabilities; children with disabilities; persons accompanying persons with disabilities of group I or children with disabilities (but no more than one accompanying person); war veterans. This means that during travel or stay in hotels, hostels, and other accommodation facilities, these citizens do not pay the tourist tax.
The list of tax agents collecting the tourist tax is posted on the websites of local councils.
The tax rate is set by local councils independently for each day of stay: up to 0.5% of the minimum wage – for citizens of Ukraine; up to 5% – for foreigners.
