AADE Short-Term Rental Declarations: What Greek Hosts Need to Know

The Independent Authority for Public Revenue (AADE — Ανεξάρτητη Αρχή Δημοσίων Εσόδων) is the Greek tax authority that oversees tax compliance. Since 2018, property owners who rent out properties on a short-term basis through platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, VRBO, or their own website are required to submit monthly short-term rental declarations. This obligation applies regardless of the number of properties or the level of income. Even if you rent out a single property for just a few nights per month, the declaration is mandatory.

For each booking, the AADE declaration must include: Guest name, Check-in and check-out dates, Gross revenue (before platform commission), Platform commissions, Net revenue (what you actually receive), and Property Registry Number (Α.Μ.Α.).

Declarations must be submitted by the 20th of each month for the bookings of the previous month. Failure to submit or late submission can result in a fine of €100 per missing declaration, plus additional penalties for inaccuracies and risk of a tax audit.

Channel managers (like Smoobu, Beds24, Hosthub) manage your bookings across multiple platforms. However, they do not automatically generate reports in the format required by AADE. Filoxenos connects to your channel manager and generates clean reports in CSV, XLSX, XML, or PDF that your accountant can use to file declarations.
