Octroi

European city taxes, quoted to the cent and cited to the law.

Octroi is a dataset of accommodation and city taxes in twelve European countries, and a calculator that quotes what a stay owes. Every line carries its rate, the version of the law it applies and the source it was read from, word for word, and each release is signed with Ed25519.

fig. 1A 4-star hotel in Barcelona, 12 – 15 Nov 2026, two adults and a child of 9: €50.40 owed in two lines, each cited to the text it comes from.

From the law to your quote.

Each rate is read from the gazette or ordinance that sets it, kept with the words it came from, and shipped in a dated release you can verify before you load it.

fig. 2Cited sources from councils, ministries and official gazettes go into one dated release, signed with Ed25519; your system quotes a stay from it.

Read from the law

Every rate keeps the passage it was read from, in its own language and in English, with its publisher, its address and the day it was checked. A watch refetches every source a release cites and checks the words are still there.

Signed and dated

A release never changes once it's out. Each is signed with Ed25519 and the public key has its own address, so your system can check a release before it trusts it.

Says when it doesn't know

Where a charge is a share of the room's price, the quote asks for the price. Where a level of government hasn't been researched, it says so and names the gap, rather than guess.

Twelve countries, every rate sourced.

What each country's data holds today: the places researched, the charges they levy and the sources cited for them.
