Visitor Levy App

Who it's for

Visitor levy for letting agents and portfolio managers

You manage properties for owners who remain legally liable. You need per-client figures, per-client exports and a clean audit trail — without becoming the data controller for thousands of guests.

What actually trips people up

  • Group properties by client, produce a per-client return pack and hand it to the owner who signs it off.
  • Guest data never reaches our servers — it's processed in your browser — so your clients' guests aren't stored in a third-party database.
  • Scoped access is enforced at database level, not just hidden in the interface.
  • One dashboard showing every client's quarter status and filing deadline.

What it costs

£4 per unit under management per month, with a £29 per month minimum. Per-client grouping and export are included as standard.

See it worked through

You manage three self-catering properties for three different owners this quarter.

  1. Jane's flat

    1 booking → £40.00 levy

  2. Tom's flat

    2 bookings → £75.00 levy

  3. Amina's flat

    No bookings this quarter → £0.00 levy (availability declaration still required)

Your dashboard shows all three at a glance, but each owner receives only their own property's figures in their own export — never the other clients' data.
