Any of you fucking Germs want to tell me which Sauerkraut smelling, Weisswurst-Brezel & Hendl eating, Krustenbraten-Semmel munching, Quarkbällchen swallowing, Topfenkuchen slurping, Jagdpfandl belching fat white deceptive nigger came up with this garbage? I already payed in advance on booking.com and it stated tax was included in the price. Even after payment it says I neednt pay anything at check in. The hotel writes me and says they will add 15% of my price as Übernachtungssteuer.
>>2835452Charging tourists a tax is fine to offset some of the costs which tourists crate.Not collecting this up front is fucking scummy though, and should be outright illegal.The EU jews are easily capable of taking the total revenues from all tourist bookings made then distributing it out into decent tourist services. Why the fuck should some rando on the desk be dealing with this? So much inefficiency.
>>2835452It's the money needed to have "fit for your average american" super heavy duty infrastructure installed like beds that can hold up to 20'000kg or installing metal plates in the gardens that can hold up MBTs.
>>2835458Publicly listed corpos should be responsible for footing the bill, direct from revenue raised in the given area.
>15%It's normally around 2eur.
This practice of tacking extra government taxes onto hotels becoming prevalent all over the world. If you visit Pahang, Malaysia, you will have to pay a foreign tourism tax as well as a state lodging tax. Both will be added on top of the posted price.
>>2835453>>2835484Okay but what infrastructure am I using? Am I even considered a tourist?I live in Switzerland and just wanted to chill a bit over the border. My monthly public transport card works will all public transport in that sector, so why do I still need to pay?>reason why I am there>Euro is currently so weak I can feast and live like a king and get some alone time gooning in my large room, while eating cheap Lidl cuisine
>>2835487Nobody cares about edge cases. Tourists use infrastructure and require services. The most efficient way to fund this is revenue taxing the publicly listed hotel comapnies.If you are 'a local' then just book direct with local companies.Observe how every time nations try to implement things like digital sales taxes, they immediately get shot down. The corporate lobbyists are destroying everything. It's fucking insane that receptionists are taking random €7 payments.
>>2835487It's the same thing as Kurtaxe, it's something like 2€/tourist night to keep the Sozialhilfe flowing.
>>2835452It was Angela Merkel.
In Barcelona it's like 15 euro a night. In smaller French cities it's 2 to 8 euro.
