A 21% tax on Airbnb bookings in
the 2018 budget is "potentially liable to alter the competition
dynamics among various operators, with possible negative fallout
on the end consumers of the short-term accommodation services,"

parliamentary Speakers, the economy ministry and the inland
revenue agency, the authority highlighted the possibility of
hurting consumers. It did so while recognising that the aim of
the levy was to fight tax evasion.
