Confbuilding, no sop benefits to hoteliers
«The Government has decided to please hoteliers who, in the throes of a sort of obsession, pressure politicians every day to introduce measures to hinder owners who use their apartments for short-term rentals. This is a wrong choice and will not bring additional long-term rent (as well as not guaranteeing greater revenue).” He states it Giorgio Spaziani Testapresident of Confconstruction.
«What will happen is that the prices of hotel rooms (already skyrocketing) will further increase – he continues – there will be a few more vacant houses, the underground economy will increase and the villages in our internal areas will have less hope of returning to life . We thank those who tried to prevent the flat tax on rent introduced by the Berlusconi government as an alternative to Irpef from being increased for the first time since 2011.”
