Ibiza Ecotasa Calculator

Calculate the Sustainable Tourism Tax for your Ibiza villa stay — and understand your obligations as an owner.

What is the Ecotasa?

The Sustainable Tourism Tax (Impost sobre les estades turístiques) is a per-person, per-night levy introduced by the Balearic Government in 2016 under Law 2/2016. It applies across Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, and Formentera — and equally to every type of licensed tourist accommodation, from five-star hotels to private holiday villas.

Revenue funds environmental conservation, heritage restoration, water and waste infrastructure, and off-season tourism development. For villa owners, it is not optional: if your property holds a valid ETV license, you are legally required to collect and remit this tax on behalf of the Balearic tax authority (ATIB).

Current rates: villas & holiday rentals

Rates are set per person per night and vary by accommodation category and season. The table below reflects 2025 rules. The Balearic Government has signalled rate increases for June–August 2026 — exact figures were still being finalised at time of writing. Verify ahead of each season at atib.es.

For most private holiday villas operating under an Ibiza ETV license, the applicable rate is €2.00 per person per night in high season. Low season reduces this by 75% to €0.50. A 10% IVA charge is added on top of all rates. From night nine of the same uninterrupted stay, the base rate is halved.
Rate increases for peak summer months (June, July, August) are expected in 2026. The Balearic Government confirmed the direction but had not published exact figures at the time of writing. Build a small buffer into guest communications until official numbers are confirmed.

What Ibiza villa owners must do

As a licensed villa owner, you are the tax collector. The Ecotasa is charged to guests, but your responsibility extends beyond collection — you must register with ATIB, issue receipts, and remit the amounts you collect on a defined schedule. In a market where regulatory enforcement is intensifying, this is not something to manage informally.

Registration on the ATIB census

Before your first rental season, register your property on the Ecotasa census at atib.es using a digital certificate or Cl@ve identification. This ties your ETV license to your tax remittance obligations.

Informing guests before arrival

Owners must disclose the Ecotasa amount to guests before they arrive. It should appear in the booking confirmation — not surface at check-in as a surprise. At Domundos, we include the calculated tax in all guest documentation as standard practice.

Remittance methods

Objective estimation (módulo)

  • Register on the Ecotasa census
  • Issue a receipt per guest charge
  • One annual payment: 1 May – 30 June
  • Most common for individual villa owners

Direct estimation

  • Quarterly declarations and payments
  • Full receipts and logbook required
  • Annual summary submission
  • Common for larger managed portfolios
If you work with a professional management company, they should handle registration, collection, receipting and remittance as part of their service. At Domundos, this is included in standard management — not treated as an optional add-on. Ask specifically how Ecotasa is handled before signing any management agreement.

What guests need to know

The Ecotasa is a relatively modest addition to the overall cost of a villa holiday — but it should be budgeted for, particularly for larger groups or extended stays in peak summer. A group of six adults staying ten nights in July at a licensed villa will owe around €126 before IVA. That number belongs in the booking confirmation, not on check-in day.

Payment is typically made in cash or by card to the owner or manager on arrival or checkout. Guests receive a receipt. The tax is personal — it is not charged to the villa as a unit, but to each individual adult staying there.

The Ecotasa applies only to non-residents of the Balearic Islands. Local residents with Balearic registration are exempt. All other visitors — regardless of nationality, including Spanish nationals from the mainland — are required to pay.

Exemptions & discounts

Children under 16

Guests under 16 are fully exempt. The tax applies only to adults aged 16 and over. For family villa stays, this can meaningfully reduce the total — use the calculator above and leave children out of the adult count.

Extended stays: the night-nine discount

From the ninth night of a continuous stay at the same property, the base rate is reduced by 50%. This resets if guests move to a different property — even within the same booking. For two-week stays or longer, this discount should be factored into the upfront estimate. The calculator above applies it automatically.

Low season: November to April

Stays between 1 November and 30 April benefit from a 75% reduction on the base rate across all accommodation categories. For owners targeting extended winter or shoulder-season stays, the Ecotasa becomes a negligible factor — €0.50 per adult per night for most villas versus €2.00 in summer.

Medical and subsidised travel

Visitors travelling for documented medical purposes or under government-subsidised tourism programmes may be eligible for exemption. This is a niche category — confirm directly with ATIB if relevant.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Ecotasa included in the rental price or charged separately?

It is charged separately, on top of the agreed rental rate. It must be communicated to guests before arrival and collected by the owner or manager. It should never be silently absorbed into the rental price — that creates an accounting problem when remitting to ATIB.

Does the Ecotasa apply to unlicensed villas?

Only licensed tourist accommodation is formally enrolled in the Ecotasa system. Renting without a valid ETV license is a serious infringement in its own right — fines reach €200,000 or more per property. Operating informally to avoid the Ecotasa is not a viable strategy. The legal risk of unlicensed renting far outweighs any tax saved.

What happens if I don't collect or remit?

Non-collection and non-remittance can result in penalties and interest. ATIB can audit licensed operators and cross-reference declared stays against Ecotasa payments. As overall enforcement intensifies across the island, Ecotasa compliance is increasingly part of the broader regulatory picture for licensed villas.

Are rates going up in 2026?

Yes. The Balearic Government has confirmed increases for peak summer months (June, July, August 2026), though exact figures had not been published when this page was last updated. Build a buffer into guest communications and check atib.es as official numbers are released. We will update this page as soon as they are confirmed.

Does the same tax apply on Mallorca, Menorca and Formentera?

Yes. The Sustainable Tourism Tax applies across all four main Balearic Islands under the same rate structure. Revenue is managed independently by each island council and directed toward local projects.
