Has anyone any news on the room tax that is supposed to be enforced in 2018?

Hi
See copy of a press release dated June 16th
The General Secretariat of Public Revenue on Thursday issued a circular that includes details on how a new levy will be charged to Greek accommodation units.
The new levy — or the so-called “stayover tax” — will be imposed as of January 1, 2018, to hotels and furnished rooms/apartments for rent and calculated based on the number of overnight stays and the category of the accommodation unit, ranging from 50 cents to four euros per room.
One- and two-star hotels will be charged 0.50 euros, three-star hotels 1,50 euros, four-star hotels 3,00 euros and 5-star hotels 4,00 euros.
One- and two-key furnished rooms/apartments will be charged 0.25 euros, three-key furnished rooms/apartments 0.50 euros and four-key furnished rooms/apartments 1,00 euro.
The new levy is part of an austerity package passed by the Greek government in May.

Vasilios from the Marina hotel has posted that the vast majority of accommodation in Arillas is no more than 3* so that should not really break the bank for most of us

Hi
As the Greek economy continues to struggle under their mountain of debt and Germany’s refusal to be lenient on their loan repayments I feel sure the tax will increase. In the short term a tourist tax is an easy way to raise revenue.
(The  of the 30% vat reduction for the Greek islands for tourism has already been removed.)
In parts of Spain the tax is per person per night with under 16 yr olds exempt
