Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether legislation will provide for the visitor levy to be charged, unless otherwise exempted, on (a) Airbnb lets, (b) holiday caravan pitches, (c) holiday caravan rentals, (d) YMCA hostels, (e) holiday campsites, (f) scout and girl guide campsites, (g) musical festival tents and yhurts.

The visitor levy will apply to commercially let visitor accommodation, including short term lets. National exemptions will apply to temporary accommodation, local authority-run shelters and refuges. Strategic authorities will also have the option to exempt certain types of accommodation in their areas, such as camping and tent pitches, hostels and dormitory-style accommodation that are often used for residential trips by youth groups.
