See how Trippz Authority works

Every regime needs the same layer underneath it. Accommodation gets registered, every stay is taxed correctly, and every payment leaves a trail an auditor can follow. Trippz already runs that layer for platform bookings in seven countries.

For new levies and existing ones

• 

  Introducing a levy

  Whether you call it a tourist tax, a visitor levy or a city tax, you have the power and a start date. Trippz Authority gets registration, filing, collection and payout running from the first night. Your team can focus on policy and communication.

• 

  Already collecting

  Your levy works, but some providers never registered and payments get matched by hand. Switch the operational layer and keep your rules and your branding. Your existing register comes with you.

What Trippz Authority does

Your yield depends on one thing: how many of your accommodation providers comply without being chased.

Compliance that fits every provider

Platforms connect through an API. Hotels and other operators connect through their own software, starting with the systems most common in your area. Smaller owners do everything in a browser, with nothing to install.

Filing that builds itself

Each filing builds itself from booking data, or from stays recorded in the browser. The provider only confirms it.

Payment on your schedule

Collected tax arrives on the schedule your authority sets. Every payment comes with one reconciliation file, down to booking level.

Oversight for both sides

Providers see their own filings and payments. Your team sees who has filed, who has paid and who has done neither. Enforcement starts from a list of names.

Proven on bookings, now built for authorities

Trippz has worked on tourist tax since 2020, on the side where the booking happens. Trippz Authority brings that experience to the side where the tax is set.

Questions (local) authorities ask

• What is Trippz Authority?

  One platform to collect, file and pay tourist tax. Trippz Authority runs registration, filing, collection and payout for every type of accommodation in your area, from hotel chains to single-apartment owners. Your team keeps the policy: the rate, the taxable base, the exemptions and the scope. Trippz administers the operation underneath.

• Is Trippz Authority live with an authority today?

  Not yet. Trippz Authority is in development, and we are in conversation with authorities in several countries that are introducing or already running a levy. The chain underneath it is live today: tourist tax calculated and remitted to local governments for bookings from the biggest platforms in travel, in seven countries.
• Can it replace a regime we already run?

  Yes. Authorities already collecting keep their rules and their branding, and their existing register comes with them. What changes is the operational layer underneath: registration, filing, collection and reconciliation.

• How do accommodation providers connect?

  Three ways, depending on who they are. Booking platforms connect through an API. Hotels and other operators connect through the software they already run, starting with the systems most common in your area. Smaller owners do everything in a browser, with nothing to install.

• What does a provider have to do each filing period?

  Little. Each filing builds itself from booking data, or from the stays a provider records in the browser. The provider confirms it and submits.

• Can we see who is compliant?

  Yes, from both sides. Providers see their own filings and payments. Your team sees who has filed, who has paid, and who has done neither. Enforcement starts from a list of names rather than a manual match of spreadsheets.

• Who decides the rules?

  Your authority. Rate-setting, exemptions, enforcement and public communication stay with you. Trippz administers the rules you write and reports against them.

• What does it cost?

  Pricing is tailored, because the work depends on the size of your jurisdiction, the accommodation mix, and whether the regime is new or already running. Tell us the shape of it and we will put a proposal together.

• Is our data secure?

  Trippz is SOC1 Type 2 and SOC2 Type 2 certified and GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted, hosted in the European Union, and never shared without legal authorisation.

• How do we start?

  Book a demo and bring your regime documents. We map your rules against what Trippz Authority runs, and we work the way your authority buys.
