CONCLUSIONES III CONGRESO NACIONAL DE APARTAMENTOS Y VIVIENDAS TURÍSTICAS
BENIDORM, MAYO 2013
Estimados asociados, el pasado mayo tuvo lugar en Benidorm el III Congreso
Nacional de Apartamentos y Viviendas Turísticas (en su momento se les envío
el programa con las ponencias del Congreso), dentro de las ponencias cabe
destacar la de Federico Varona, nuestros asesor en materia de fiscalidad, y con
el que hemos estado en contacto los últimos meses para buscar soluciones a
la fiscalidad vigente que pueda resultar beneficiosa para propietarios, clientes
y agencias.
En su ponencia destacamos los siguientes puntos como interesantes para
nuestros asociados;
La fiscalidad en alquiler residencial es completamente diferente de la
fiscalidad para el alquiler vacacional.
La agencia es Responsable Solidario del propietario de la vivienda por lo
que no puede actuar como “simple” comisionista o intermediario en el
contrato del arrendatario y el arrendador, la Agencia es parte implicada y
por tanto responsable en caso de litigio y/o fraude fiscal de cualquier
tipo.
El alquiler vacacional de apartamentos y viviendas (Servicio NO •
Hotelero) está gravado con un 21% de IVA y el Servicio Hoteleros del
10%, considerándose Servicio Hoteleros aquel que cambia las sábanas
y realiza una limpieza al menos una vez a la semana (no les vale la
limpieza final y entrega de ropa a la entrada, esto va al 21%), si esta es
su modalidad y tienen dudas, solamente se disiparan con una consulta
vinculante a Hacienda, en lo cual estamos, así como la jurisprudencia en
la agencia tributaría, en este caso en Cataluña se dio un caso de estos
en 2012 y fue en esta dirección que apuntamos.
Federico Varona considera que la solución a los problemas fiscales que
“sufre” el sector del alquiler vacacional no consiste en ir sorteando la
fiscalidad es más bien reconocer los cambios que son necesarios y
solicitar a la administración los cambios legislativos pertinentes, ahora
bien, actualmente no sirve de nada modificar la legislación autonómica
pues el actual Gobierno pretende legislar de forma estatal, por lo que el
Sr. Varona sugiere la unión a nivel nacional para poder presionar
directamente al gobierno central.
