Do I Have to Pay an Iceland Departure Tax?
Iceland does not charge a separate departure tax that travelers must pay at the airport. All applicable taxes and fees are included in your airline ticket price at the time of booking.

This is different from some destinations where you must pay a cash fee at the airport before departing. With Iceland, your ticket covers everything, so there are no surprise costs at checkout.
Do note that Iceland has a tourist tax (accommodation tax) that hotels collect as part of your room rate. This is typically a small per-night charge already factored into your bill, not something you pay separately at departure.
