I know....its a pain. Especially as I have taken 6 wks bookings already and say I include the ECO tax.
It is their way of controlling tourist they say, yet they do nothing with the money. It is very unpopular and we hope if the other party gets in in 2019 they will boot it out as they did before.

That is always the case. Paris, the whole of the Netherlands have it. Has not reduced any tourist figures to a sustainable level. It is just taxation and you the owner are the collectors.
We have not got anything over this side of Spain but it will come one day.
This also come up in the news feed. Reading this is it only the Brits. who vacation there who are being asked to pay the higher rate. This newspaper cannot be taken very seriously.
