TOURIST TAXES

The holiday resort of Veysonnaz involves three municipalities: Veysonnaz, Nendaz and Sion (formerly Salins).
There are three types of tourist taxes levied in these three areas, which are based on the cantonal law on tourism and which aim to encourage the development of quality tourism:

• The tourist tax is collected from non-residents or owners of second homes in Veysonnaz, Nendaz and Sion (ex Salins)
• The tourist promotion tax is collected from owners renting out their flats and from entities carrying out an activity linked to tourism in the communes of Veysonnaz, Nendaz and Sion (ex Salins)

WHO IS SUBJECT TO HOLIDAY TAX ?

• Any person who is not resident in the municipality of Veysonnaz or in the tourist area of Veysonnaz (which includes part of the municipalities of Nendaz and Sion) is required to pay the holiday tax

• The owner of a second home who collects the holiday tax from his guests must send a statement of overnight stays to Veysonnaz Tourisme at the latest at the end of each winter and summer season.
