Stop counting guest nights in spreadsheets
Set up your municipality's rate and period once. Best Guest then calculates the accommodation tax (also known as tourist or city tax) for every stay and prepares the report you file.
How It Works
Covers rates and reporting periods for municipalities across the Czech Republic — verified from official ordinances and continuously expanded.
Set your municipality's rate
Enter the rate and reporting period — monthly, quarterly, yearly — according to your municipality's rules.
Fee is calculated automatically
Best Guest calculates the fee from the number of nights and guests, including legal exemptions for children and seniors.
Generate the report
A clear PDF report for the chosen period is generated, ready to submit to the authority.
Track payment status
Reports carry a paid/unpaid status, so you always know what still needs filing.
Guest pays via QR code
Optionally, Best Guest emails the main guest a scannable payment code when the reservation is closed — automatically in the format their own bank recognizes (Czech QR Platba, Slovak PAY by square, or the pan-European EPC standard) — so they can pay the fee directly to your bank account.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
What is poplatek z pobytu (accommodation tax)?
It's a local tax that Czech municipalities charge per guest, per overnight stay. Accommodation providers collect it from guests and remit it to the municipality.
Does the tax rate differ by city?
Yes — each municipality sets its own rate and exemptions (for example for children or certain disabilities). Best Guest lets you configure the applicable rate and exemptions for your property's municipality.
Does Best Guest calculate the tax automatically?
Yes — based on the guest's length of stay and any configured exemptions, Best Guest calculates the amount due per reservation so you always have an accurate total to remit.
Can guests pay the accommodation tax directly?
Yes, with the optional guest-payment QR feature. When a reservation is closed, Best Guest emails the main guest a payment code pre-filled with the exact amount, your bank account, and a reference — automatically using the format their own banking app understands (Czech QR Platba, Slovak PAY by square, or the pan-European EPC standard), converted to the right currency where needed. Best Guest does not collect or verify the payment — the money goes directly to your bank account and you remit it to the municipality as usual.
