Airbnb to enforce tax on Paris rentals
Print Edition
Airbnb will require Paris landlords to prove their apartments have been registered with city hall from yesterday, its latest move to ease tensions with officials who accuse the home-sharing giant of flouting laws and driving up property prices.
The registrations, required since 2018, aim to make sure homes in Paris, one of Airbnb鈥檚 biggest markets, are not rented out more than 120 nights a year and that incomes are declared to tax authorities.
But until now Airbnb was not blocking renters who failed to supply the numbers with their ads 鈥 the company argued it should not be responsible for ensuring that users of its site comply with local regulations.
The platform will impose similar rules in Bordeaux on July 30 before extending them to other popular French destinations such as Lyon, Nice and Marseille by the end of the year.
鈥淭his new step is part of several commitments by Airbnb to promote responsible tourism,鈥 the company said in a statement.
It said a 鈥渓arge majority鈥 of Paris homeowners already complied with the registration requirement, without providing figures 鈥 before the COVID-19 pandemic Airbnb had 65,000 listings for the city.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a victory,鈥 said Ian Brossat, the city鈥檚 deputy mayor in charge of housing.
