Hi @Andy66,
Yes, I’ve heard about the recent introduction of the “Team”-Tab.
Apparently it is rolled out gradually, as I haven’t seen it yet myself.
You having 31 properties, I can imagine it is a lot of work, to download all these documents on a regular basis.
So giving restricted access to certain people, you work with. Sounds like very useful!
I don’t know the exact rules in Lisbon (or Porto). But apparently, the authorities were going to introduce a similar tourist tax model in the Algarve too – as of 2019.
All municipalities of the Algarve seemed to have agreed upon the collection of tourist tax in the same way. But now, when it comes down to determining the exact way to collect it. There seem to be differences again between certain Municipalities.
Faro wants € 2/night without limitation, Albufeira wants € 1/night with a limit of 4 nights, Silves does not want any tourist tax at all (the original idea was € 1,50/night with a limit of 7 nights and limited to persons aged at 12 or older and only between March - October).
And I suppose it all comes down, on how the calculation is implemented in the Airbnb Software.
For sure the authorities won’t complain about getting too much tourist tax from Airbnb.
So I ended up raising my prices already, to cater for this additional taxation, because Airbnb won’t collect this additional tax yet – in the Algarve.
The new law does not seem to have been put in place too.
And I did also read the celebration stories on Nalle already, where it was mentioned that the authorities already got tenths of millions from Airbnb on Tourist Tax (In Lisbon and Porto)!
