Short-term rental regulations in Italy
What a host in Italy has to do at national level: obtain and show the CIN, report every guest to the police through Alloggiati Web, collect the municipal tourist tax and file its annual return (for a short let, the platform or agency that collects the rent or takes part in the payment does this instead), send the tourism statistics, and meet the EU short-term rental rules. Every figure links to the act it comes from.
