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, send the tourism statistics, and meet the EU short-term rental rules. Every figure links to the act it comes from.
