A Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) is a non-discretionary tax imposed by the Town of Greater Napanee on short term stays at hotels, motels, inns, and resorts.
The MAT is a 5% tax, effective July 1, 2026 on stays of less than 30 days. Owners of these establishments must add this tax to their guest's nightly stay fee on top of other taxes such as HST. A MAT is paid for by guests.
MAT applies only to the room charge (not services such as meals or parking), and it must be paid at the time of booking or payment to the accommodation provider.
To learn more about the Tax, please read the full Municipal Accomodation Tax By-law.
What does the MAT go towards?
Under the Municipal Act, 2001, municipalities that choose to implement a MAT must share a portion of their revenues with an “eligible tourism entity” such as a Destination Marketing Organization, Regional Tourism Organization, or other not-for-profit tourism organization. As a member of the Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board, the Town of Greater Napanee shares 50% of our remittances with this organization which goes towards activities that achieve their mandate of marketing tourism and resident attraction for communities in the Bay of Quinte region.
The other half of the remittances remain with the Town of Greater Napanee and are used to fund tourism initiatives in accordance with the Use of Municipal Accommodation Tax Reserve Funds Policy.
Accommodation providers are required to charge the 5% tax, submit quarterly remittance forms, and quarterly payments to the Town of Greater Napanee.
Compliance Guidelines for accommodation providers are summarized below in the MAT Compliance Guidelines.
