The local administration has adopted a cautious stance, suspending both the annual review of the tax, currently set at 0.15 euros per night, and the investment of funds obtained during the first year. This decision follows the legal challenge brought by the tourism industry against the measure, which was the first of its kind in the Canary Islands.
Despite the judicial uncertainty, the economic results of the first year have exceeded initial expectations. According to data from Mogán Gestiona, the municipal public company in charge of collection, the second semester of application, from October 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, generated 725,685 euros through 1,037 self-assessments.
The breakdown of these revenues shows 407,393 euros from hotels, 263,910 euros from non-hotel accommodations, and 54,381 euros from vacation rentals. Adding the revenue from the first semester, the total balance for the first year reaches 1.39 million euros.
The management of the municipal public company noted that while compliance is high among hotels and apartments, they will intensify requirements and sanctioning procedures to ensure payment in the vacation rental sector, where higher levels of non-compliance have been observed.
