- giaour 10y agoLandlines all have a fee that subsidizes service in rural areas. Hotels have to pay hotel taxes in addition to property taxes, which are often earmarked.
- briandear 10y agoI have some properties that I AirBnB in France and we pay the hotel taxes just like the hotels. So that argument that AirBnB properties don't have to pay hotel tax isn't true. And the tax isn't even that much. If a hotel is on such a tight margin that €0.80-€2.10 per occupant per day is a hardship, then they have bigger problems. We also get to pay property tax, habitation tax as well as income tax. Yet here in France the hotel business still lobbies against AirBnB.
