When travelling for work, you often need to stay overnight and Airbnb can be a convenient option. Here is how to deduct the expenses:
The first step is to make sure your VAT-ID is registered in your Airbnb account. This information will be used to make sure any applicable VAT is invoiced correctly. Once your VAT-ID is registered, you will be able to successfully recover applicable VAT.
After you have completed your stay with Airbnb, you will be provided with two documents:
1- a receipt for the stay -> encode only the amount excluding services fees, without VAT
2- a VAT invoice for the services
Encode both documents as an expense in the app to successfully recover applicable VAT.
In addition to the cost of your stay, you may also be able to recover other related travel expenses. These may include transportation, meals, Per Diems (a fixed allowance for each day of travel), and more. Visit our detailed guide for more information on travel expenses.

Le suivi par mail de votre service est appréciable. J’ai été étonné de devoir communiquer mon no de compte bancaire et surtout de donner un accès consultatif à celui-ci. Mais je vous l’avais déjà évoqué en vous précisant la raison. Bien cordialement François Bellière

C’est hyper clair et le service est impeccable, vous répondez vite. La seule chose que j’ai remarqué qui pourrait être une nouvelle fonctionnalité: avoir la possibilité d’être plus précis au niveau de la détermination de ce qu’on paye pour nos cotisations sociales quand on a choisi un plan d’apurement. Par exemple, 300€ par mois au lieu que le choix soit juste par trimestre.

The coaching session on tax management was excellent, good material, excellent explanations and very insightful…my accountant and tax advisor are good, but never so comprehensive and accurate. Combined with the AI I never feel alone with Accountable
