Effective June 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026, the City of Toronto will temporarily increase the mandatory Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) rate on transient accommodations from 6 per cent to 8.5 per cent in accordance with
Bylaw 1259-2024. If you are a hotel or short-term rental operator, please ensure that you begin collecting the 8.5 per cent MAT as of June 1, 2025.
The Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) provides funding for Destination Toronto, which supports the tourism industry, as well as programs and services that visitors take advantage of when visiting (e.g. roads, transit, culture, parks, natural areas and recreation).
