Steve - as I understand it - this dreadful and extremely damaging tourist tax is to be paid by everybody who stays in a registered hotel or apartment/villa, resident or otherwise. As a resident in the north my wife and I and daughter and her family would frequently enjoy an overnight stay in a Palma hotel to avoid a late night drive home. No more - of course - We will not contribute to this ridiculous tax, which hopefully will be abolished soon as unworkable as the previous one was.

Ridiculous, there is no difference between this discount for residents and giving residents preferential or dedicated parking

The discount for residents should remain ( why do people have to interfere with other countries laws and discounts for the people who LIVE there ) Shame on the Governmentto discontinue the discount .The local people need to complain and get a Petition started. Does this German person live on the island? Has he worked and paid taxes to Majorca. I holiday in Majorca and don't expect to receive the same discount as the people who live there. Yes I spend money while on holiday ,but that's my choice how to,spend ,a trip on the train ,or local bus eating out buying a coffee. Same as anyone else.

The correct answer is (as used in other countries eg London Transport TFL) is season tickets.

This is an old article. Today's news is that residents can be assured that the discount for them is not in danger.

I thought that this train , was a Tourist Train ?. The tunnel to Soller, will soon be free. Perhaps the use of this Train, needs further investigation, and designated TOURISTS ONLY.

Do we need the Eu for these kind of things ? Nothing else to do ? Pathetic

I wonder if he complained about the tourist tax? That is only applied to non-residents. Why has our EU representative not complained about this and explained why it is wrong?

Just reinforces the brexit vote the eu is a great big circus run by clowns thank god we are OUT ,

This is the type of European intervention that persuaded so many Brits to vote out.
