    S2. Ep. 14: The 2026 Tax Shift: New Brackets, VAT, and Compliance for Greek STR Owners

    The Greek short-term rental market is undergoing a major transformation. With the new Law 5246/2025 taking effect in 2026, every owner, from Kavala to Crete, must understand how the rules have changed—especially regarding taxation and operational compliance. In this critical episode, the Planbnb team breaks down the new tax landscape, showing you exactly how to protect your investment and maximize your profit. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Major Tax Savings: The introduction of the new 25% intermediate tax bracket for rental income (between €12,001–€24,000) and how it can save mid-tier earners hundreds of Euros annually. Deductions Decoded: The critical difference between the 5% automatic deduction for individual owners and the full expense deductions available to legal entities (companies) that manage 3 or more properties. Compliance Essentials: A clear review of your obligations, including monthly AMA registration filings and the penalties for non-compliance (fines starting at €5,000). Mandatory Fees: A breakdown of the Climate Crisis Resilience Levy (new daily fees charged to guests) and your responsibility for collecting and remitting it correctly. The VAT Question: When is your rental income subject to the standard 13% VAT rate, and how does operating as a business entity affect this? Don't let tax confusion erode your passive income. Listen now to understand the new landscape and ensure you are positioned for maximum profitability in 2026.
