Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) - Frequently Asked Questions
The City of Vaughan approved a four per cent Municipal Accommodation Tax (MAT) on the purchase of accommodations at hotels, motels, and bed and breakfasts across the city as well as those approved for Short-Term rental accommodation.
The collection of MAT on these types of accommodations was effective April 1, 2019. The MAT is paid by visitors making these types of accommodation bookings for a continuous period of 29 nights or less. In addition, the MAT was applicable to short-term rentals, including online home-sharing platforms, as of April 1, 2020.
As we continue to work together to build a better and stronger Vaughan, revenue collected will go towards destination marketing in the city and fund important city-building projects such as infrastructure and transportation.
