DAP Intensifies Checks on Short-Term Tourist Rentals During Summer

With the arrival of the summer season, the Public Revenue Directorate has significantly increased its field engagement, emphasizing the earnings individuals obtain from renting out properties for short stays.

The institution announces a series of concrete measures: distribution of simplified guidelines for completing tax declarations, personalized communication with taxpayers, data exchange with central and local authorities, as well as risk analyses that will be followed by targeted inspections. Simultaneously, a broad awareness campaign will be conducted through media channels and social platforms.

The main focus is on income gained from renting apartments, flats, villas, houses, rooms, and any other type of accommodation unit, as well as profits from other seasonal activities closely linked to the tourism industry.

The Public Revenue Directorate stresses that the initiative aims to encourage voluntary compliance with fiscal rules, creating a level playing field for everyone operating in the hospitality sector.

“Our objective goes beyond identifying obligations; we wish to assist citizens in fulfilling them correctly and regularly,” states an official stance of the administration.

Taxpayers are reminded that any amount earned from accommodation rental agreements is taxed in accordance with the legal framework in force, and they are urged not to overlook payment deadlines.

The tax administration confirms that it will continue with control schemes guided by risk profiling, with the aim of protecting conscientious operators from unfair market practices and ensuring uniform enforcement of legislation.
