Spain’s government has proposed a new 21 per cent value-added tax (VAT) on short-term tourist rentals, doubling the rate for hotel rooms, in a bid to tackle the country’s housing crisis. The move aims to address growing concerns over the availability and affordability of housing for residents, as landlords increasingly favour more profitable short-term lets. The proposed tax, which would apply to all rentals under 30 days, would impact a significant portion of Spain's tourism sector.
