File It Anyway · STR Unpacked

Ben: Good morning and welcome to your short-term rental bulletin on Friday, the 25th of September. And we're going to do a roundup for the week. So let's go to Spain. So Spain's hotels took €166.90 per night occupied room in August, up 7.3%. Revenue per available room rose 7% to 133.10, and nights rose 1.4%. The price index rose 6.3%. So part of that is mixed. Resident nights actually fell 1.1%, while non-residents rose 2.8%. So foreign demand is carrying it, and that is the hotel survey. Apartments are not out. So Poland's act started as a tourist tax, and there that was dropped. So what the Senate cleared on Thursday without amendments raises the existing local fee. It goes to the president now. So from January, the basic fee loses its climate test, leaving landscape merit, which could take from 234 municipalities to about 1500. because each council must still vote it in. And ministers have not. Written the test. So you become a statutory remitter answering with everything you own for the money you should have collected. You keep a register per property with each guest name and address of residence. You can refuse the start of the stay until they pay. So to Vienna now. After the 2024 limit, owners applied instead to convert flats into commercial guest accommodation, which is outside a residential zone. The city calls unlimited. So 305 applications in 2025 and 132 approved. So from January, 80% residential test that already applies inside of residential goes goes citywide, reaching back to files logged since the summer. To Pergula. That has five days on it. So Taurus Let's are already operating a year ago must file in the municipal single window by the 30th of September. The region said on Wednesday that it is moving that to the 31st of December. Poland and Vienna went up against you, England did not, and sixty-three days ago, five or more units in one herediment, non-a main resident, stopped waiting a year on council tax. So Poland puts the fee register and the liability on the operator and says nothing to do with the platforms at all. Vienna makes the platform delete the listing. If you have stuff in Pergola, file this week just to be safe. But thank you for watching and I'll see you next week.
