I have learned to be quite sceptical about items published like this as in the past, it's often been a slow news day, and reporters have had to trawl through the trash bin to find a story to fill the paper, some papers are worse than others but none are exempt.
However it does seem this story is indeed current, as the Welsh government have published a document about the consultation dated 20 Sept 22.
As it is apparently only aimed at commercial overnight accomodation, it would be quite easy for the Welsh govt to have it added to the tax returns of businesses. And of course businesses would almost certainly add an element to their customer charges.
For the record I don't support it.
