Questions & Answers about the Guest Pass+

Who benefits from the Guest Pass+?

Generally, all individuals staying in commercial accommodation establishments in the Canton of Baselland who do not reside in the canton. These guests pay a guest tax of CHF 3.50 per night per person.

Who is exempt from the Guest Tax and therefore does not receive a Guest Pass+?

• Residents of the Canton of Baselland
• Children under 12 years old
• Health resort guests with a medical prescription
• Members of the military, civil protection, or fire service on official duty

How long is the Guest Pass+ valid?

The Guest Pass+ is valid for the duration of the stay, including the arrival and departure days, for a maximum of 30 days per calendar year/accommodation.

How long is a guest liable for tax?

For individuals staying in the same accommodation for more than 30 days in a calendar year, the guest tax is no longer charged from the 31st day onward. Entitlement to the Guest Pass+ also expires when the guest tax obligation ceases.

Do children under 12 years old (not subject to the tax) receive the Guest Pass+?

Children accompanied by family members liable for guest tax receive the Guest Pass+ free of charge as a gesture of goodwill. 
However, in group accommodations (e.g., hostels or camps), children under 12 are not taxed and therefore do not receive a Guest Pass+.

What happens in the event of rebooking or cancellations?

The validity of the Guest Pass+ automatically expires in the case of cancellations. For rebooking, the guest must obtain a new printed or downloaded version of the Guest Pass+.

I did not receive a Guest Pass+ from my accommodation. How can I get one?
