Italy's top administrative court on
Friday ruled against a request presented by Airbnb to suspend
occupancy taxes for short-term apartment rentals.
The Council of State rejected the request filed by the online
rental platform to reform a ruling by the administrative
tribunal (TAR) of Lazio in October 2017 which had rejected the
suspension of the tax.
The Council of State said Airbnb's case was inadmissible
because it needed to be presented to an administrative court of
first instance TAR.
TAR is scheduled to rule on the matter in October.
Under the occupancy tax for short-term rentals, real estate
intermediaries need to collect occupancy taxes due by owners and
provide tax data to the revenue agency.
