Introduction
If you manage Greek properties with Hosthub and receive bookings longer than 59 nights, this guide explains how Hosthub handles tax calculations, receipts, and AADE submissions for long-term stays. Understanding these rules helps ensure legal compliance and accurate documentation for your business.
What Are Long-Term Stays?
In Greek rental law, stays longer than 59 nights (60 days or more) are considered "long-term stays." These bookings are subject to different tax rules compared to short-term rentals.

VAT: Not charged. Invoices and receipts for long-term bookings will not include VAT.
Climate Tax & Accommodation Tax: Not charged. These taxes are excluded from both calculation and documentation.
AADE Registry Submission: Not required. Hosthub will not submit these bookings to the AADE registry.
Receipts & Invoices
Long-term stays: Receipts and invoices automatically exclude all VAT and climate tax references.
Short-term stays (≤59 nights): Standard tax rules apply, including VAT and climate tax where appropriate.
