The rules on ‘short-term rentals’, as set forth in Article 4, Decree-Law No. 50 of 24 April 2017, and Order No. 132395 adopted by the Revenue Agency on 12 July 2017, fall outside the scope of Directive 2015/1535/EU of 9 September 2015, concerning the preparation of rules relating to ‘information society’ services, without any obligation of prior notification to the EU Commis-sion. The obligations to collect and report to the tax authorities the data on short-term rent-al contracts concluded by intermediaries through the platform they operate and the obligation to withhold tax in connection with the sums received as a result of the booking do not entail any infringement of the principle of freedom to provide services under Article 56 TFEU. In contrast, the obligation to appoint a tax representative for real estate intermediaries who are not resident or not established in Italy conflicts with the above-mentioned principle.
