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 — The full name of the guest
• Check-in and check-out dates — The exact duration of the stay
• Gross revenue — The total amount before platform commission deductions
• Platform commissions — The amounts retained by the platform (e.g., Airbnb, Booking.com)
• Net revenue — The amount you actually receive
• Property Registry Number (Α.Μ.Α.) — The unique registration number for the property

The Greek Tax Procedure Code requires that short-term rental declarations 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 for each missing declaration
• Additional penalties and surcharges for inaccuracies
• 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 or your accountant.

This is where Filoxenos comes in: it connects to your channel manager, automatically extracts booking data, organizes it by channel (Airbnb vs. Booking.com), and generates clean reports in CSV, XLSX, XML, or PDF that your accountant can use to file declarations.
