City Tax - Milan Italy

English Forum
1

Hello everyone.

I have a question about whether the city tax is due in Milan municipality or not.

I double checked on the Municipality website but there is no mention about exemption in case of a home exchange, therefore it makes me think that it is due.

Many thanks.

Lo scrivo anche in italiano.

Vorrei sapere se qualcuno sa se la tassa di soggiorno e’ obbligatoria anche in caso di home echange senza scambio economico. Sul sito del comune non viene menzionata questa possibilita’ tra le esenzioni quindi mi viene da pensare che sia obbligatoria.

Personakmente sono registrata come Casa Vacanze Non Imprenditoriale e posso affittare al masdimo 180 gg all’anno.

Grazie

Welcome to the Forum :slight_smile: I’m afraid i’m not too sure, but have you tried posting this on the Italian Forum? I think you will have a much higher chance of finding the answer there Forum Italiano - Forum HomeExchange

Hello @Francescaesse,
we had asked the Milan municipality and and they had answered us that if the guests are for free, the tourism tax is not due.

But, as mentioned here for a similar question about Rome, as a host, you need to be able to prove to the tax authorities that your guests are not paying. Therefore, some members who also have an apartment registered for short-term rentals prefer to ask for it anyway. If they do, they must then remit it and provide a receipt, to avoid any potential abuse toward the guest.

However, in principle, if your accommodation is not paid for, meaning there is no price, the tax would not be due. You can ask your Comune to verify this response.
