Background
The Milan Olympic tourist tax is a temporary levy of €9.50 per person per night applicable to all accommodation (hotels, short-term rentals, and B&Bs) within 30 kilometres of 2026 Winter Games venues in the Milan-Cortina area. It applies for the duration of the Winter Olympics in 2026 and is set to expire once the Games close. The levy was introduced alongside Italy's 2026 Budget Law and is an exceptional measure on top of the standard Italian tourist taxes levied by municipalities .
The 30km radius is wide enough to capture a large proportion of the Lombard STR market, including properties FAR from Olympic venues that will nonetheless benefit from Games-driven demand. Milan expected record accommodation occupancy during the Games period, giving the city political cover to impose an elevated tax rate.
For STR hosts, the Olympic levy is separate from and additional to both the standard municipal tourist tax and the flat-tax restructuring under the 2026 Budget Law, compounding the compliance burden during the busiest revenue period of the year.
