Verified 15 February 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

You rent a furnished property to a clientele who stays for a short time (by the day, week or month) and who do not choose to stay there. Payroll taxes depend on how much you earn from this activity.

If you are considered professional renter, you have to pay social security contributions based on the amount of income you receive.

  • The annual revenue from this activity for all members of your tax shelter are less than €23,000
