In November 2024, Airbnb published a guide outlining the tax responsibilities for individuals offering short-term rentals in Belgium. The guide covers key aspects of income tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) applicable to providers of short-term accommodation. It includes details on tax rates, reporting requirements, filing and payment deadlines, contact information for the tax authorities, and specific Belgian regulations relating to income from short-term rentals. This resource is designed to help hosts understand their tax obligations and ensure compliance with Belgian tax legislation.
