The Corporation of the Town of Collingwood has approved the adoption of a mandatory Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT), in accordance with provincial legislation.
Effective March 1, 2025, accommodators are required to charge the Municipal Accommodation Tax of 4% (plus HST) on the room rate for your short-term stay (28 days or less). Other services, including meeting room rentals, parking, food and beverage, room services, internet and phone charges, etc., are excluded from the MAT.
The revenues from this Tax will be primarily reinvested in tourism projects and initiatives that support tourism in Collingwood through significantly enhanced promotion, marketing, event support, and tourism-related infrastructure. Other Town Council priorities may also be funded through the MAT, with indirect benefits to the tourism industry such as transportation, affordable housing, recreational infrastructure, or by-law enforcement.
These fees are mandatory as per the Town of Collingwood Bylaw 2024-085.
