Tourist tax made...

The story of Trippz?

Good question! Who in his right mind thinks about starting a business in ‘Making tourist tax easy’.....

  • One night around the campfire

    Actually, that’s not how it happened... Trippz is an idea born out of personal experience. Our founder Ingmar had been renting out a chalet in the Austrian mountains for a quite a while and at some point grew increasingly frustrated with the hassle and time involved around dealing with his tourist tax obligations.

    Collecting guest information, keeping hold of payments, receiving monthly invoices from the municipality.....there were no great customer experiences in this process for sure!

  • And then there was lunch

    On a sunny June afternoon Ingmar had a chat with a friend, who back then worked at the world’s biggest booking platform. As it turned, tourist tax handling was also quite a challenge on their end. This is where the Trippz journey really took off.  

  • So here we are

    The 30th of June 2020 Trippz was founded. Early 2024 were proudly serving the world’s biggest travel platforms from our tourist taxes Platform and offering our services to hosts and governments across the EU. And the best part? That’s still yet to come!
