Polish Tax Authorities Target Short-Term Rentals on Booking.com

Poland's tax office is ramping up efforts to control property owners renting out homes on platforms like Booking.com. The authorities are focusing on individuals who may not be declaring rental income from short-term leases, as this sector has grown rapidly. With the rise of online platforms, many landlords have taken advantage of the additional income streams but failed to comply with tax obligations. Those caught under-reporting or avoiding taxes could face severe penalties, including fines and backdated tax payments.
