You PBH guys are cracking me up! Mostly Maritime 04.

LORE, REGARDING TAXES, I have been paying 16% taxes on all my commisions, which is what you have to pay for real estate commisions. Many people are saying to me its about time they taxed you guys like the hotels.

Actually the government is reclassifying my short term rentals as tourism income si i will be paying 12.5% taxes so THE TAXES ARE GOING DOWN. My taxes on short term rentals are going from 16% to 12.5%. Long term rentals will still be classified under the 16% commision tax for furnished rentals.

The big changes are going to be the difficulties that apartments have to go through to get approved and registered as short term rentals.

MARITIME 04 (you are pretty funny) Rating out people involves telling someone something they dont know. Unfortunately companies which are a part of ACOVITUR will have all the short term rentals registered. Not only that we are meeting with DAS and DIAN to insure all properties are up to par.

Now for people that are not conducting business above the line, this is the time to get your papers in order. ACOVITUR will be holding meetings and discussing with members what the new law requires as far as ministry of tourism, DAS and DIAN, the local camera de comercio, and any other agencies that may get invovled by January 9th.

But i love the positive comments from Maritime. This is the kind of stuff that makes posting on PBH so much fun!

The people that are not apart of the organization will get picked on harder, as they will miss out on details and meetings with DAS, DIAN, etc which the organization will conduct prior to January to clear up any surpise fines, etc.

Once again thank you fellow PBHers!
