Victoria introduced a 7.5% short stay levy from 1 January 2025 under the Short Stay Levy Act 2024. It applies to stays of fewer than 28 consecutive nights and is calculated on the total booking fee, including the nightly rate, cleaning fees, and service charges. For platform bookings through Airbnb, Booking.com, or Stayz, the platform collects the levy from the guest and pays it to the SRO. Hosts do not handle the levy on platform bookings.
