How Nozawa Onsen Village Accommodation Tax is calculated
The applicable accommodation tax rate is determined by the booking's check-out date.
The Nozawa Onsen accommodation tax uses a 3.5% tax rate and is based on the tax-exclusive accommodation amount per person, per night.
Because RoomBoss derives the accommodation tax from the total tax-inclusive booking amount, it may not always be possible to determine the exact tax amount for every booking.
In cases where the correct tax amount cannot be determined from the booking value, please contact Nozawa Onsen Town Tax Office to confirm the correct tax payable.
Exemption Rule
If the accommodation amount is below ¥6,000 per person per night, no bed tax is applied.
In RoomBoss, the accommodation tax is calculated based on the tax-inclusive booking amount.
However, since the exemption depends on the tax-exclusive rate, there may be cases where the exemption rule affects the calculation outcome.
Example
When calculating from a tax-inclusive amount, removing bed tax may cause the derived accommodation amount to fall below the ¥6,000 threshold.
In this case the booking becomes tax-exempt, and the bed tax is not applied.
