After Amsterdam, The Hague is the city with the most Airbnb stays in the Netherlands. The number of nights booked via Airbnb grew by 46% last year, to 184,000 stays in The Hague. This strong growth underlines the importance of tourism in our city. Because the number of hotels in The Hague is limited, the market share of Airbnb can continue to grow much more.

As a landlord you need to observe a number of rules established by the municipal government of The Hague.

• The landlord should be the primary resident of the accommodation. That means that you need to be registered with the Gemeentelijke Basis Registratie Personen (BGRP, “Municipal Base Registration for Persons”).
• If you want to let your apartment, you should obtain permission from the VVE.
• Social housing cannot be let.
• The accommodation can be let now and then, but not every day.
• It is not permitted to let your accommodation, or part of your accommodation, every weekend or, for example, a week every month, to tourists.
• The accommodation can be rented by no more than four tourists.
• The guests should not cause a disturbance for the neighbourhood.
• The accommodation should be fireproof.
• The landlord is required to pay tourist tax.

Renting out via Airbnb and other channels has been incredibly popular in The Hague for several years now, but there is still much confusion when it comes to taxes.

Not everyone who makes money by renting out their house has to pay income tax for this. The tax authorities distinguish between renters and homeowners. Renters don’t always have to pay extra income tax for renting their accommodation, while homeowners do.

Suppose that Bram wants to let his own home via Hosted by Wendy for a period of 4 weeks, because he wants to go on holiday. After deducting our commission, we wire the remaining letting revenue to Bram. Let’s say, € 2000. 70% of that revenue will have to be declared with the tax authorities. Then he can also deduct utilities used by the guests, because this is related to the rent.

For those 4 weeks, Bram has paid € 125 for utilities. 

In his tax returns, Bram needs to declare 70% of the revenue received, minus any expenses. In this case: € 1400 - € 125 = € 1275.

If any costs are deducted before Bram receives the letting revenue, he cannot deduct them in his tax returns. Such costs may be cleaning costs we charge of the guests.

Bram is the primary renter and if he has the permission of his landlord and VVE he can rent out  his accommodation via Hosted by Wendy. A renter pays rent and has the right to live in a home. This right – the use of a good owned by someone else – is taxed as bezetting (“occupancy”) in box 3. Bram can declare the revenue gained from letting his home in box 3, unless he earns more this way than what he pays in rent, in which case he would have to pay tax.

You are legally required to pay tourist tax. Tourist tax is tax for spending a night in The Hague for non-residents. This is a fixed sum of € 3.40 per night per person for 2018. Children below 13 years of age do not have to pay tourist tax. All homeowners renting out their accommodations in The Hague have a notification requirement to report via the website of The Hague. For more information on tourist tax, refer to this page, where you can register for the notification requirement.
