2026

Post by Gareth, Registration Lead, Welsh Revenue Authority

We are getting closer to opening registration for visitor accommodation providers in Wales. From autumn 2026, anyone who takes bookings for overnight stays in Wales will need to register with the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA). Before we open registration to everyone, we want to make sure the service works well for all providers. That is why we are inviting a small group of providers to take part in a private beta – an early test of the real service.

Building a new service is about far more than what you see on screen.

From autumn 2026, visitor accommodation providers in Wales will need to register with the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA). Since the WRA launched in 2018, our approach has always been to support people to get things right first time and we’re applying the same approach to registration. We are working hard to make sure that when registration opens, you have everything you need to complete the process simply, correctly and confidently.

From autumn 2026, visitor accommodation providers in Wales will need to register with the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA). When you complete your registration, you will receive a unique 8 digit number. Designing that number has been more involved than you might expect.

We’ve been looking at how partnerships will register their visitor accommodation with the Welsh Revenue Authority (WRA). From autumn 2026, anyone who takes bookings for overnight stays in Wales will need to register with us.

For this piece of work, we wanted to focus on the journey from start to finish. We needed to make sure what we’re designing meets user needs and captures all the information required by the policy.
