A Câmara de Tomar aprovou esta semana o regulamento da futura taxa turística municipal, que prevê a cobrança de dois euros por dormida, até ao máximo de cinco noites consecutivas, seguindo agora para consulta pública.

Muitos alojamentos locais em Portugal só percebem meses depois que tinham de submeter a taxa turística ao município.

Na maioria dos casos ainda é possível regularizar os meses anteriores através do portal da Câmara Municipal, normalmente em opções como “Regularização de Meses Anteriores”.

Geralmente o processo é:
• Submeter cada mês em falta
• Declarar dormidas e isenções
• Receber a referência/fatura para pagamento

Cada município funciona de forma diferente, por isso convém verificar os prazos e regras locais.

Também vejo muitos hosts a pensar que o Airbnb trata automaticamente da taxa turística em Portugal, mas na prática a responsabilidade continua muitas vezes do anfitrião.

Alguém aqui já teve de regularizar meses anteriores? Como foi a experiência no vosso município?

As a solo dev building a niche SaaS, the biggest thing that’s worked for me has been writing extremely specific content instead of generic startup blogs. Posts targeting exact problems like local compliance rules, tourist tax guides, or step-by-step workflows started bringing in users from Google and even ChatGPT/AI search. The traffic was slow at first, then suddenly compounded. I’ve also found that talking directly to users and manually helping them early on gave me way better product direction than trying to over-plan features.

On the coding side, shipping fast has beaten trying to build perfect architecture. Some of the simplest features ended up being the most valuable to users. I also learned positioning matters more than I expected — being very clear about who the product is for made marketing way easier than trying to sound like a big “all-in-one AI platform.”

Just got back from a trip to Faro and thought I’d share a few things that might help others planning a visit. I stayed near the airport, around a 10–15 minute drive from the centre. Really enjoyed the Old Town — nice atmosphere, plenty of food options, including halal food as well.

One place I liked was BD Kebab. I thought the prices were good, the food quality was solid, and the customer service was great.

I also used the local ferry to get to Praia de Faro (Faro Beach). it cost €4.10 return per person. Easy enough to use and a nice spot to spend a few hours.People in general were very friendly and helpful throughout the trip.

One bit of advice: avoid Euronet ATMs if you can, as the fees/conversion rates aren’t great. I used Multibanco ATMs instead. If you do withdraw money, always decline the currency conversion and choose to be charged in the local currency (EUR). The machine asks more than once, which feels a bit sneaky, so pay attention before confirming.

I also visited Albufeira. Getting there without a car was a little challenging at first, but I ended up using the FlixBus app and it was really cheap and convenient. The journey was around 40 minutes, and a same-day return for 2 people cost roughly £10. Albufeira was really nice. I did a dolphin watching trip there and would definitely recommend it.

That’s pretty much it — just some general thoughts and advice from my experience. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask. And apologies in advance if I’ve accidentally got any details wrong.

Hi all , I was verified as a software business on GBP and when I added an address it asked to verify with a video of my establishment, even now after I removed address? What should I do

Hello everyone,

I’ve been looking into tourist tax (taxa turística) here in Portugal, and I understand that it’s usually charged per night to guests staying in short-term rentals or hotels.

But what is this money actually used for?

I’ve heard it goes towards things like city maintenance, cleaning, and tourism promotion, but is there any transparency on how municipalities (like Lisbon, Porto, or smaller places) actually spend it?

Or does it just go into general municipal budgets?

Would be great to hear from anyone who has insight or experience with this 🙏
