Visitor Levy Information for Businesses
Q1: Has Conwy decided to introduce a Visitor Levy?
No. Conwy County Borough Council hasn’t made a decisions yet. A proposal to carry out a consultation to seek the views of the tourism trade, local residents and visitors about the Visitor Accommodation Levy will be presented to Full Council in early 2026. The Council is being asked whether to start a consultation process in Conwy County, not on whether to introduce a Visitor Levy. Any final decision to introduce a Levy would be taken by Full Council at a later date.
Q2: How would the levy affect my business?
If introduced, the levy would be added to the cost of overnight stays and collected by the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA). You will be required to process quarterly or annual returns depending on how much levy you collect annually.
Q3: Will I need to register my accommodation?
Yes. All visitor accommodation providers in Wales will need to register with the WRA from autumn 2026, regardless of whether a levy is introduced.
Q4: How can I have my say?
If we launch a consultation, businesses will be invited to share feedback. Your input will help shape Conwy’s decision.
