CdH....Classification
CdH....Classification
Hi CdH owners
We have been operating as a CdH for 3 years. I looked into classification in our first year and decided against it. I just wondered if anyone on here is classified and has positive points about being so?
The only one on my list is that are some sites that only list classified CdH
For negatives, if we classify we will have to pay more taxe de sejour
Any thoughts appreciated

We used to be classified by GdF but have never bothered with getting the Tourist Office to do the same, as they used GdF to do the classification anyway. We left GdF this year so officially we're now not classified and it has made no difference to business.
As for Taxe de Séjour, in theory and according to the letter of the law, then if you provide facilities equivalent to a 3 star chambre d'hôte (for example) then you have to collect the rate of TdS for a 3 star B&B even if you haven't been classified.
But in practice you'll probably get away with it because if you've never been examined, they don't know what you should be classified.

Ours is too. Apparently the idea is that it will push standards up as people will upgrade the gites so they pay a lower amount of TdeS with the higher gradings and guests will benefit. (Our TdeS is based on a flat rate assumption of occupancy, not actual occupancy so its a fixed cost each year).French Cricket wrote:Our tourist office this year is charging its highest rate of taxe de séjour to unregistered chambres d'hôtes and gîtes

It's our first season and we are with booking.com who are collecting taxe de sejour but how do we pay it? And to whom?

the commune will send you the paperwork - if you are registered with the mayor they will have informed the treasury....some communes charge it seasonally, many (inclluding ours) charge it year round - both on actual number of guests. Some communes now ask for it on perceived occupancy for your commune

Who collects Taxe de Séjour
Our taxe de séjour for our gîte is collected by the local tourist office.
Love not fear!

Re: Cdh - classification
If you know you're subject to Taxe de Séjour (and logically you must if you're including it in the bookingdot com price) then surely you know who takes it off you? Otherwise how do you know you need to collect it for them? :/Tournesol wrote:It's our first season and we are with booking.com who are collecting taxe de sejour but how do we pay it? And to whom?
Anyway, you'll get a demand from whoever it is whenever it's due.

I don't, b.com are adding it automatically. I didn't ask them to.
