Airbnb

Here you can find an accountant for Airbnb, catering to every short-term rental need. The short-term rental of accommodations via Airbnb is increasingly preferred by travelers, and more and more property owners are converting their properties into rental homes.

If you are considering renting out your property online through the Airbnb platform, our accounting office can support you in taking this new step.

Accountant for Airbnb

Below are all our services:

If you wish to profit from your property, we provide expert guidance to help you decide whether to operate it as an Airbnb short-term rental or as a tourist accommodation. Accordingly, we manage all your related obligations (such as obtaining a Property Registration Number or business startup, etc.) for any individual or legal entity, including Airbnb management companies.

We offer complete information on how to conduct short-term rentals and clarify under which conditions a rental is considered long-term. We also explain what happens in cases of subletting the property to the same tenant or if the tenant departs before 59 days.

If you rent out your property for up to 59 days outside digital platforms, you are required to register in the Short-Term Accommodation Registry, obtain a Property Registration Number (AMΑ), and submit a Short-Term Accommodation Declaration.

Depending on how your property is managed, the applicable regime, the number of properties, or co-ownership, we calculate the taxation of your income based on current legislation.

Regardless of who manages your property, we take care of:

  • Registration in the Short-Term Accommodation Registry
  • Submission of the short-term accommodation declaration per tenant
  • Recording in the registry of all necessary details to determine the annual income per beneficiary, and more.

Our experienced team of Airbnb accountants provides full support for your short-term rental. Avoid unnecessary fines and focus on the profitability of your property or Airbnb management company.

Contact our online accountants so you can rent your Airbnb fearlessly and profitably.

Here Is Where Short-Term Rental Compliance Starts

A property offered through Airbnb-type platforms must be reviewed before the income is declared. The owner or manager must know whether the property needs AMA registration, how bookings are reported, whether the income remains private rental income, and whether extra services or multiple properties create a different tax profile.

For foreign owners, the review also includes Greek AFM, tax representative requirements, access to AADE platforms and annual Greek income tax reporting.

  • AMA / property registry route review
  • Short-Term Stay declarations and booking data
  • Income tax classification for Greek property income
  • VAT and business activity review where needed

Key Tax Points for Airbnb and Short-Term Rentals in Greece

Find the main tax issues that must be checked before and during the short-term rental activity.

AMAProperty RegistrationThe property must be reviewed for registration in the AADE short-term rental registry before listings and declarations.

How We Would Analyse This Case

First, we confirm whether the owner has a Greek AFM and access to the required AADE procedures. If not, we prepare the AFM and tax representative route before the short-term rental compliance begins.

Second, we review the property registration position and the booking platforms. The aim is to ensure that the property is properly connected with the Greek short-term rental registry and that the booking data can be monitored correctly.

Third, we review the tax nature of the activity. A single property without hotel-type services is usually examined differently from a structured business activity with multiple properties, staff, systematic services or additional hospitality services. This distinction is important for income tax, VAT and business registration exposure.

Practical conclusion: The safest approach is to set up the Greek tax route before the rental season starts, monitor each booking during the season and prepare the annual Greek income tax filing with accurate platform and booking data.

Short-Term Rental Tax Support Process

A structured process helps owners avoid missed declarations, incorrect income classification and problems at the annual tax filing stage.

01

Owner Review

We review whether the owner is Greek resident, non-resident, individual or company.

02

AFM / Access

We check Greek AFM, tax representative route and platform access requirements.

03

Property Registry

We review AMA, short-term rental registry and property declaration route.

04

Booking Monitoring

We organise booking data, guest-stay details and declaration deadlines.

05

Tax Review

We check income tax, VAT exposure, business activity and fee obligations.

06

Annual Filing

We support Greek income tax reporting and ongoing compliance follow-up.

Information Usually Needed

The required information depends on the owner, number of properties, platform structure, services offered and whether the property is held by an individual or a company.

We organise the file so that the owner has a clear compliance route instead of scattered booking and tax data at the end of the year.

Owner and property data

  • Greek AFM and tax access status
  • Property details and ownership data
  • AMA / registry information
  • Tax representative route if non-resident

Rental activity data

  • Airbnb / Booking.com reports
  • Guest stay and departure dates
  • Gross rental income and fees
  • Services offered to guests
Ongoing compliance

Short-Term Rental Tax Compliance Must Be Monitored During the Season

The main risk is not only the annual tax return. Owners often face problems because booking declarations, platform data, property registry details, fees and VAT/business exposure are not reviewed during the rental season.

N.KOLYDAS I.K.E. supports owners and managers with a practical compliance system: what must be registered, what must be declared, what must be checked and what must be prepared for the annual Greek tax return.

  • Short-term rental registry and AMA review
  • Booking declaration monitoring
  • Income tax and non-resident owner support
  • VAT and business activity review
  • Annual Greek tax filing coordination

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a Greek tax number to rent my property on Airbnb?

In practice, a Greek AFM is required for Greek tax procedures and income reporting. Non-resident property owners should review AFM and tax representative requirements before starting the rental activity.

What is AMA for short-term rentals?

AMA is the property registration number connected with the Greek short-term rental registry. It is part of the AADE compliance route for properties offered through short-term rental platforms.

Is Airbnb income in Greece taxable for non-residents?

Yes. Income from real estate located in Greece is generally reportable in Greece, even when the owner is a non-resident. The exact filing route depends on the owner’s profile and property activity.

Can short-term rental activity create VAT obligations?

It can, depending on the structure, services offered, number of properties, legal form and business profile. A VAT/business activity review should be completed before assuming that no VAT exposure exists.

Do you support foreign Airbnb owners in English?

Yes. We support foreign property owners, non-residents and international advisors in English for Greek AFM, tax representative review, booking compliance and annual tax filing.
