Rental income from Uniplaces is subject to local tax laws in your country. Rules vary significantly \u2014 consult your local tax authority or the Uniplaces Landlord Portal for country-specific guidance.<\/p>\n
In all European countries where Uniplaces operates, rental income is considered taxable income. As a landlord, you are responsible for declaring your rental income and paying the applicable taxes<\/strong> \u2014 Uniplaces does not deduct tax on your behalf or report your earnings to tax authorities.<\/p>\n Tax rules vary by country, rental duration, property type and your personal tax situation. The guidance below provides a general overview \u2014 always consult a local tax adviser or your national tax authority for advice specific to your circumstances.<\/p>\n In Portugal, rental income is subject to IRS (Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Singulares). Rental income from furnished accommodation is classified under Category F. Landlords can choose between a simplified regime and an organized accounts regime<\/strong> \u2014 the simplified regime applies a 35% coefficient to gross income to determine taxable income.<\/p>\n Short and medium-term rentals under the Alojamento Local framework may be subject to different rates. For detailed guidance, visit the Uniplaces Landlord Portal at portal.uniplaces.com<\/a> or consult the Portuguese Tax and Customs Authority (AT).<\/p>\n In Spain, rental income is declared under IRPF (Impuesto sobre la Renta de las Personas F\u00edsicas). Income from residential rentals may qualify for a 60% reduction if certain conditions are met \u2014 for example, if the property is the tenant’s primary residence. Short-term or holiday rentals do not qualify for this reduction.<\/p>\n For guidance specific to Spain, visit the Uniplaces Landlord Portal at portal.uniplaces.com\/es<\/a> or consult the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT).<\/p>\n In Italy, landlords can choose between standard IRPEF (personal income tax) and the cedolare secca<\/em> flat tax regime. The cedolare secca option applies a flat rate of 21% on gross rental income<\/strong> (or 10% for properties in specific categories), and replaces registration, stamp duty and other taxes. It also removes the landlord’s ability to increase rent during the tenancy.<\/p>\n For guidance specific to Italy, visit the Uniplaces Landlord Portal at portal.uniplaces.com\/it<\/a> or consult the Italian Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).<\/p>\n In Germany<\/strong>, rental income is subject to Einkommensteuer (income tax).
