Hotel guest-registration compliance in Austria

Every paying overnight guest must be recorded under the federal Meldegesetz. Most provinces below add nothing further; a few layer their own reporting rules on top — see "Not yet supported." Tourist tax (Ortstaxe) is set separately by each province and isn't covered by Simple Guests yet.
