Guest registration is mandatory within 24 hours of arrival through the Alloggiati Web portal. Professional managers with more than three properties must register for VAT, and income can be taxed through IRPEF or a flat 21% Cedolare Secca. Regional variations in rental periods, additional local licenses, and safety standards apply. Compliance is simplified by automated solutions like Chekin.
