Good news for tourists staying along the Sinis coast next summer. The Municipality of Cabras has decided not to increase the tourist tax for 2026. Rates will remain unchanged.
The total tourist tax collected by the administration in 2025 is approximately €190,000, a 15% increase over last year. This is the latest news from Sinis. Everything is detailed in the City Council resolution of December 10th. The document also lists all the rates valid for next year. The tax will still be payable for up to seven nights. In four-star hotels and above, during the low season (January 1st to April 30th and November 1st to October 31st), the rate is €2 per person. During the high season, from May 1st to October 31st, the rate is €3. In three-star hotels, during the low season, the rate is €1.50 per person, while during the high season it is €2.50. In agritourisms, guest houses, holiday homes, campgrounds, and other accommodations, the tourist tax is €2 per person during the high season and €1 during the low season. Children under 12 are exempt from paying the tax. University students under 26 are also exempt.
The resolution also reminds that owners of accommodation facilities in the town are required to register with the Municipality's information system for managing the tourist tax. It is also recalled that it is mandatory to request payment of the tourist tax upon the guest's departure and to pay the collected tax to the Municipality by the sixteenth day following the end of the relevant quarter.
Cabras Mayor Andrea Abis explains why he decided not to increase the tax for 2026: "2025, as far as this tax is concerned, is ending on a positive note," Abis explains, "that's why we decided to leave the rates unchanged. We believe that in a period of high inflation, this could be a sign of sustainable tourism. After all, everything increases, and the Municipality is very careful about this. We don't want to further burden those who love our area, who are already struggling with transportation costs and so much more."
