【意見と回答の公表】ニセコ町宿泊税条例　改正条例案の意見募集

Niseko Town is now aiming to revise its accommodation tax system.
The main changes consist of the following two points:

1. The tax system will be changed from the current flat rate system to a fixed rate system.
(Targeted revision date: November 1, 2026)

2. Expanding tax exemptions for children's and education-related events.
*Revision to align with Hokkaido accommodation tax regulations
(Targeted revision date: April 1, 2026)

For more information about the current Niseko Town accommodation tax system, please see the following page.

For more details, including the reasons for aiming to revise the accommodation tax, the increase or decrease in tax revenue due to the system change, and how it will be used, please see the explanatory materials below.

The details of the accommodation tax system reform are reflected in the revised ordinance bill below.

In this town, Niseko Town passed the accommodation tax ordinance in December 2023 two years ago.
At that time, before proposing the ordinance to the town council, we widely solicited opinions from the public regarding the accommodation tax system.
The explanation given at the time described how the town had been aiming to introduce a flat-rate accommodation tax for many years, but switched to a tiered flat-rate system in light of the introduction of the Hokkaido accommodation tax.

The recent revision of Niseko Town Accommodation Tax system can be seen as an effort to revise the system that the town had originally aimed to introduce. For reference, we have posted below the information that was announced when public comments were solicited at the time.
