🌿 Environmental Fee (Climate Crisis Resilience Fee) – Greece

Starting January 1, 2024, all accommodations in Greece are required to implement a new Environmental Fee, officially titled the Climate Crisis Resilience Fee. This fee replaces the former Accommodation Tax, as established in Article 30 of Law 5073/2023.

⚠️ Key Points to Remember

• The Environmental Fee is not the same as City Tax, and does not replace it.
• It is added on top of the final price, regardless of the tax model (NET or GROSS).
• The fee varies by season (high / low) and depends on the property type.

🔧 How to Set Up the Environmental Fee in SabeeApp

1. Set Values in General Tax Settings

Go to:

Settings → General Settings → Tax Settings

📁 How the Environmental Fee Works in SabeeApp

Behind the scenes, the environmental fee is treated as a system-default service category, with two items:

• Environmental Fee – High Season
• Environmental Fee – Low Season

This allows easier integration without modifying existing tax models.

How It Appears in the Folio

Once set up:

• The fee appears as a separate item in the Folio table.

  

• It is based on stay dates:

  • High Season → High Season Fee
  • Low Season → Low Season Fee
  • Mixed Stay Dates → Both fees applied per day

📸 Folio examples:

Fee Properties:

• Category = Environmental Fee
• Quantity = 1 per room per night
• VAT = 0% by default
• Can be routed to group Folio
• Can be invoiced separately
  • Default invoice description is blank
