We updated private iCal feeds to offer users greater control over guest data privacy, helping property managers maintain compliance with regulations like GDPR. Users can now access two distinct iCal feed links for their rentals: a standard feed that includes guest names in the summary field, and a new privacy-focused option that excludes guest names, replacing them with generic event descriptors such as "Booking" or "Block. See more details in this article.

We have introduced an automated VAT lookup feature to streamline booking invoice creation and eliminate the tedious manual entry of business details. When generating a booking invoice, hosts can now simply enter a VAT number to instantly fetch and populate official company and address information directly from the VIES database. This update reduces administrative friction and minimizes the risk of data entry errors, allowing hosts to finalize tax-compliant documents in seconds. While the system handles the heavy lifting, hosts retain full control with the ability to manually override or complete any fields as needed. This enhancement ensures a faster, more efficient invoicing workflow for all business guest transactions. See more details in this article.

Now scheduled messaging rules have titles. This allows property managers and hosts to more efficiently orga

Question 3

Connect with Oxygen ERP

Accepted Answer

Register in Oxygen and setup

Before connecting Hosthub with Oxygen ERP, you need to create one or more accounts in Oxygen. | If all your rentals are managed by a single VAT number then only one Oxygen account is needed. If you want to connect multiple managers with separate VATs with Hosthub, then you need to register each VAT with its own account in Oxygen.

In Oxygen you need to setup the following:

Your business details.
Your branches
Your connectivity with MyDATA and the submission mode (manual or automatic).
Your email invoice notifications

After the account creation and setup are concluded, you ask from Oxygen support team to provide you an API key to connect on Hosthub. Only the account owner can request the API key from Oxygen support.

To activate the connection, contact Hosthub support and provide the following two details:

Your Oxygen API key (this is different from the subscription key; the API key contains dashes, e.g. a06ffbd9-2d56-454b-b7aa-75b0df8c0c0b)
The username (email) you use to log in to your Oxygen account

Hosthub does not need your Oxygen password. Once these details are provided, Hosthub will activate the integration and you can map your rentals.

Question 4

Hosthub tools for Greek taxation

Accepted Answer

Properties located in Greece and used for short-term rentals have specific tax obligations defined by the Law 5073/2023.

These regulations have introduced increased administrative complexity due to the specific characteristics of the fees set and the calculations required to correctly tax the booking revenues from different platforms.

Hosthub introduces new greek taxation tools that aim to simplify this complex process to the maximum extent possible, allowing property owners and managers to carry out all required procedures through its platform.

The steps to need to be followed in order to perform all the required tax document submissions through the Hosthub environment are described below:

Defining the tax settings for each rental

In order for hosts to make all the required tax document submissions as simply as possible, some settings should be defined per renal regarding their tax characteristics. These settings are defined once and used as defaults for issuing and sending all taxation documents after each reservation is completed.

Before finalizing the tax settings for each rental, it is necessary to be informed about the Laws 5073/2023 & 5162/2024 and to have previously consulted your accountant.

The tax settings must be defined for each rental, in order for Hosthub to correctly calculate the amounts on all declarations.
