Do I pay tax when I stay in my property?

As an owner, you are allowed to stay in your property without any restrictions. However, to ensure the correct tax is levied, the municipality where your property is located would like to know whether you expect to use your accommodation for more or less than 89 days.

There are 3 options in the cooperation agreement:
1.) The owner stays in the property for a maximum of 89 days per year;
2.) The owner uses the property without restrictions;
3.) The owner makes the property fully available for rental.

You indicate your choice among these 3 options in the cooperation agreement. We will send the cooperation agreement to the local municipality at the start of our collaboration. Additionally, we are required to submit an annual night register, showing the number of nights you have used the property. This allows the municipality to levy the appropriate tax.

If you use your accommodation for more than 89 days, the local government will levy a second-home tax. If you stay in the property for less than 89 days, depending on the municipality, either a tourist tax or no tax at all will be levied.
