Overnight stay taxes in the Fuschlseeregion

In Salzburger Land there is a tourism tax to pay per person and night. The charges per night and guest consist of the general overnight stay tax and the mobility contribution.

General Overnight Stay Tax

Based on the Salzburg Overnight Stay Tax Act, every night spent in guest accommodations in the state of Salzburg is subject to a per-person tax for guests aged 15 and over (formerly known as the local tax).

  • In all towns of the Fuschlsee region—Ebenau, Faistenau, Fuschl am See, Hintersee, Hof bei Salzburg & Koppl—the general overnight stay tax has been €2.45 since December 1, 2023.
  • From June 3, 2025, the new rate will be €3.00.

Exemptions from the tax:

  • Children under 15 years of age.
  • Workers performing their profession within the municipality for stays longer than two weeks (short, temporary trips home do not count as an interruption).
  • Persons with disabilities of at least 50% and one accompanying person.

For more details, see §4 SNAG.

The tax must be listed separately in offers and invoices.

Mobility Contribution – from May 1, 2025

A new uniform ticket is introduced for all overnight guests in the state of Salzburg, covering all public transport during their stay, including city transport, regional buses, S-Bahn, regional and long-distance trains, and micro-public transport.

This ticket is issued by the accommodation provider and is charged as an additional €0.50 per person per night during the introductory period from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2027.

Key points:

  • Includes all public transport (e.g. bus line 150 to Bad Ischl or to Salzburg city).
  • Worth it if you take even one trip to Bad Ischl (€7.80 one-way) or Salzburg city (€6.60 one-way)!
  • Issued via guest registration by the host.
  • Delivered as a QR-code (digital or printed).
  • Valid from the day of arrival to the day of departure (within the state boundary).
