Foreign tourists looking for an authentic welcome in Naples
And if Italian tourists have always appreciated the beauty of Naples, the news of recent years is that more and more foreign tourists have included the Campania capital in their holidays in the Bel Paese.
According to the latest estimates, foreign tourism in Naples generates a turnover of one billion eight hundred million euros.
It is useful to remember, in the light of this trend, that a large part of that turnover goes into the pockets of those who manage to put their house on income by deciding to rent it for short periods.
More and more often, in fact, tourists decide to rely on private individuals who rent out their homes.
The hotel structures have more prohibitive costs and leave less room for the freedom to organize one's holiday according to family needs.
It must be remembered that, from 1 June 2017, lease agreements of properties for residential use, stipulated throughout Italy - and therefore also in the city of Naples - which have a duration of less than 30 days can be considered "short term rentals".
In order for the new regulation of short-term rentals to apply to these contracts, they must be concluded between natural persons who make their home a source of income outside of business activities.
The most interesting part of this law is that which concerns the tax legislation.
In fact, the income deriving from short-term rentals can be subject to a "dry coupon" on the rentals and therefore a substitute tax of 21% is applied to the income deriving from the rental, below the percentage for other types of lease.
An analysis that leaves little room for doubt and confirms how important it is for the Neapolitan tourist industry - and more generally for the Italian one - to promote the offer of short-term rentals in Naples and throughout the territory, riding the wave of what has by now become the most widespread way of planning and experiencing holidays.
