The tourist tax, worked out from the booking.
Counting nights off a spreadsheet at period end is a job nobody chose.
It exists because the guest data and the tax calculation live in different places. In Grondia the tourist tax is calculated per stay from the booking itself, so the figure on the guest’s bill and the figure in your report are the same number. Here is what that covers today, and what it does not.

Why this is harder than it looks
Kurtaxe is a small charge with a disproportionate administrative footprint. It is levied per overnight guest, set and collected locally, and the accommodation acts as collector: add the right amount to each guest’s bill, remit the total to the municipality, and file a report of nights stayed.
The difficulty is that "the right amount" is not one number. Rates are set per municipality. They vary by guest age and season. Children are frequently exempt or discounted, and so are certain visitors and members. There are caps. And each municipality wants its settlement in its own format.
A campsite makes this worse than a hotel does, because guest numbers are high and stays are irregular. A family of five arrives for four nights, two of them children under the exemption age; a touring couple stays one night and leaves at dawn; a seasonal contract runs the whole summer. Every one of those has a different tax consequence, and by the end of the period there are hundreds of them.
Calculated per stay, from the booking
You set your municipality’s rates once. From then on Grondia calculates the tourist tax for every stay from the booking (who stayed, how many, how many nights) and puts it on the guest’s running folio next to the pitch, the shop purchases and any extras, so it is settled once at check-out rather than collected as an awkward extra at the desk.
The same figures appear in your reports, each traceable to the booking it came from. That is why the numbers agree: what you report matches what you billed, because both read the same booking rather than two separately kept tallies.
What stays with you
Three things are not automated today, and it is better to know before you plan around them.
Exemptions and reductions are not detected automatically. Children under the exemption age, or guests your municipality exempts, are checked at the desk.
The settlement with your municipality is prepared by you from Grondia’s reports. Grondia does not produce a file in your municipality’s own format.
Nothing is submitted to the municipality automatically.
Accommodation statistics
HESTA reporting is Swiss-specific: for a site in Switzerland, Grondia compiles the monthly HESTA return from the same bookings and submits it. There is no automatic statistics submission for Germany or Austria today.
What this actually gives you back
Mainly correctness. A hand-tallied total is not just slow, it is hard to verify: if a figure is questioned, reconstructing how it was reached means going back through the same spreadsheet that produced it. A total derived from booking records, each traceable to its source, can be checked rather than re-argued.
And some time at a bad moment: period end usually lands while the season is still running, so a tally you no longer have to build from scratch competes less with actual guests.
The tourist tax module and self check-in are included from the Professional plan.
Domande frequenti
No. Grondia calculates the tax per stay from the booking and shows it on the folio and in reports. You prepare the settlement from those reports and submit it the way your municipality asks.
No. Exemptions and reductions are not detected automatically today, so they are checked at the desk.
Not today. Grondia gives you the figures per stay and per period in its reports. It does not produce a file in a municipal format.
Yes. The tax on the folio and the figure in the report come from the same booking, so they agree, and each figure traces back to its source booking.
HESTA reporting is Swiss-specific: for a site in Switzerland, Grondia compiles the monthly HESTA return from the bookings and submits it. There is no equivalent automatic statistics submission for Germany or Austria today.
