What hosts must do
Report and pay each quarter on the city's TouristTax portal (pagoPA only), by 15 April, 15 July, 15 October and 15 January, and file the yearly declaration by 30 June of the following year. Genoa signed an agreement with Airbnb on the tax in 2017.
How it works for short-term rentals
Italian provincial capitals, unions of municipalities and listed tourist towns may charge an imposta di soggiorno on every night spent in their territory (article 4 of legislative decree 23/2011). Each city sets its own rates by Giunta resolution.
- Who pays: the guest, unless resident in the city or exempt.
- Who is responsible: whoever collects the rent. For a booking you take yourself, that is you; when Airbnb or another platform collects the rent, it can be the platform (article 4, paragraph 5-ter, of decree-law 50/2017). The responsible party collects the tax, pays it to the city and files the declarations, with the right to claim it back from the guest.
- Yearly declaration: by 30 June of the following year, online, on the Ministry of Economy's form. A missing or false declaration costs 100% to 200% of the tax due; late or missing payments are fined under article 13 of legislative decree 471/1997, plus interest.
Airbnb and other platforms
Airbnb is rolling out automatic collection in every Italian municipality with a tourist tax. Check the Taxes section of your listing: where Airbnb collects it, the guest pays it in the Airbnb price and you must not charge it again, but you still report those stays to the city. For direct bookings and channels that pay you the full rent, you collect it yourself.
