What this means in practice

Tasmania requires planning permits for many whole-home short-stay properties and collects data from booking platforms.
Check whether the property is exempt as a principal place of residence before listing.
A 5% Short Stay Levy on bookings made through booking platforms has been legislated for Tasmania with a proposed commencement of 1 July 2026. Cuvanti has NOT confirmed that it is in force, so no levy is applied in the figures above. Confirm the current position with the State Revenue Office before pricing a booking.

Cuvanti tracks this for your properties automatically

Night limits count across every channel you are connected to, not one platform at a time, which is the only way the number means anything. Cuvanti warns you before a booking would breach a limit, and tells you when a rule in your market changes.
