Parliamentarians behind “transpartisan” proposals to further regulate rentals of furnished tourist accommodation such as Airbnb hope that a bill to this effect will be put back on the agenda before the end of the year.
Monday, deputies Julien Bayou (EELV, Paris), Christophe Plassard (Horizons, Charente-Maritime) and Iaki Echaniz (PS, Pyrnes-Atlantiques) and senator Max Brisson (LR, Pyrnes-Atlantiques) were received by the delegated minister to Housing Patrice Vergriete to take stock of this proposed law as well as the taxation of tourist furniture.
We spoke to him about the absolute necessity that the text, which was removed from the agenda in June, be put back on the calendar before the end of the year. I think we have been heard, Christophe Plassard told AFP, specifying that the text would be enriched by what has happened in recent months.
The bill, the examination of which had been postponed until the summer because the majority considered it to be incomplete, intended in particular to tighten the scale of tax reductions granted to tourist furniture or even make tourist rental conditional on the completion of a diagnosis. energy performance.
Housing is disappearing from the territories, we need regulation, and taxation is a push for crime, denounced Julien Bayou.
A majority of deputies wanted to put an end to this tax loophole. Bercy opposed it, lamented the MP, returning to the 2024 budget (PLF) adopted at first reading via article 49.3 and on which these parliamentarians were counting to review the advantageous taxation enjoyed by tourist furniture.

If the government has at the same time announced the launch of a project to overhaul the rental tax regimes within a year, Julien Bayou fears that this new timetable will serve to delay.
In the PLF, the government retained an amendment to reduce the reduction from 71% to 50% on rentals of certain housing, in extended areas, with a threshold of 77,700 euros. In a non-extensive zone the reduction would be 71% but with a threshold of 50,000 euros.
Insufficient for Senator Max Brisson who intends to table an amendment to eliminate or at least align the tax reduction enjoyed by short-term rentals of tourist accommodation with that of long-term rentals, with a view to examining the PLF in the Senate on 23 november.
