Overview
- A first budget draft raises the flat tax on short‑term rentals from 21% to 26% and applies it even to a single property.
- Antonio Tajani reaffirmed that Forza Italia will not vote for the increase and is pressing Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti to change the measure.
- The League also opposes the hike, with party figures signaling they will push to rewrite the provision and protect small owners through amendments.
- Industry groups warn the change would shrink listings and lift prices, and Aigab estimates an average hit of about €1,300 per family on a typical dwelling.
- Confedilizia criticizes the approach as punitive toward small landlords, while Venice’s mayor says the city will not raise its tourist tax despite potential new leeway.
