A study carried out by the Faculty of Tourism of the Anáhuac University indicates that Airbnb could evade the treasury up to 4.1 billion pesos annually.
Airbnb could evade taxes
This is a significant fact because currently the France Mobile Number List Tax Administration Service (SAT) has not included this type of hosting services in the Fiscal Miscellany and in the Technology Platform Services Complement for this year.
Mexico has 47 thousand registered units dedicated to this activity.
The average fare is $201.
Nearly a million reservations are made with an average stay of 3.9 nights.
Estimated sales are around 13,600 billion pesos annually.
For Rafael García, advisor to the National Tourism Business Council (CNET) and former president of the Mexican Association of Hotels and Motels (AMHM), these types of accommodation platforms mean unfair competition because they do not pay the taxes they owe and proliferate every day. further.
The BDS campaign does not promote coexistence and peace
“The problem is that they do not comply with land use, nor do they comply with local, municipal, federal, or state laws. It is an increasingly growing competition and we want it to be regulated and to compete with the laws in Mexico, which are the ones that govern us,” said Rafael García.
García indicated that this type of accommodation already represents more than 12% of the hotel offer in the country and the trend is increasing.
“The trend is that they will reach 15-20 and in a while they will be 100%. If they are not regulated, it will be cheaper to put an apartment, house or bungalows outside the law because with Airbnb people come to me and they do not pay taxes, I do not register security nor do I comply with security regulations or government requirements,” he added.
So far, the Airbnb platform has reached an agreement with some states such as Mexico City, Quintana Roo, Sinaloa, Oaxaca, among others; to pay between 2 and 3% of the Lodging Tax, but hoteliers do not consider it enough.
