Each step comes from the gov.wales overview unless it says it is our own tip. Where this page and gov.wales differ, gov.wales is right.

1. Check you need to register. You must register if you take bookings of 31 nights or less for stays in Wales.
2. Work out who registers. The provider responsible for the property registers, such as the owner or tenant.
3. Note the deadline. It is 31 March 2027, even where your council has no visitor levy. A penalty applies if you miss it.
4. Register on gov.wales. Start from the official overview. Registration is free. The £29 option is for help with completing it, not a registration fee.
5. Keep your confirmation (our tip). Save any confirmation you receive with your property records, so you can show it if asked.
6. Check your council (our tip). A levy is a separate matter from registering. ACCA reports that Cardiff is the first council with a levy, accounting on new bookings from 28 September 2026 for stays from 1 April 2027. See the ACCA note.

This checklist is general information, not legal or tax advice. For your own position, use gov.wales or ask a qualified adviser.
