The principles of Airbnb income taxation

Are you renting out your property on Airbnb? Here's what you need to know

Depending on the services offered, then your income will be split into 3 :

First, there's the real estate income corresponding to the rental of the room, and this taxation will depend on the cadastral income.

• Income from movable property

• Services (cleaning, concierge, meals)

• Airbnb's taxation depends on how often you rent out your property

For one-off or very occasional rentals

Add the amount to your income tax submission under "miscellaneous income". These are taxed separately at 33%.

For rentals without services

On your income tax return, add your Airbnb income as income from movable and immovable property.

For professional income

Do you earn more regular income and/or provide services? Don't forget to charge 21% VAT. Your income is professional and must therefore be entered in the Accountable app. At the end of the year, this income will be included in Part 2 of your income tax return.
