Any idea how often the timing belt needs to be done on an Opel Tigra.

At least every 40k miles, and should get full t-belt kit and waterpump
also, servicebook says 80k miles on belt but few lasted anywhere near that figure.

Most Opels are non interference engines
this means that if the belt snaps the pisons wont mash into the valves
but to be on the safe side id say 50k is the interval
