Tax authorities change the rules: these owners will have to pay 370 euros more in taxes from 2025

The tax bill will get heavier for many French people.

It was a paradise for tens of thousands of owners. A dream opportunity, almost too good to be true, that many seized, and remained in force for years. As if it were obvious. But soon, it will be the end of the Eldorado and we will have to dig into our pockets. Goodbye to the great leniency of the tax authorities, the rules will change and the bill will get heavier. For those concerned, this will be approximately 370 euros extra to pay to the tax authorities from 2025.

This change will affect about a million homeowners. While this is clearly a tougher tax burden for these households, it is in reality a simple rebalancing that will now have to be added to the various already incompressible – and increasing – expenses inherent in the ownership of a house or apartment.

For many years, owners have developed a vein of all kinds made legal to increase their income: short-term rentals. The rise of AirBnb has contributed to this wave, but other platforms such as Leboncoin or Abritel also make it easy to offer your property and be put in touch with vacationers, all with a secure transaction.

How to earn more money, without paying too much tax. Until now, only 50% (or 29% for classified tourist accommodation) of the income received was subject to taxation. From now on, 70% (or 50% for classified tourist accommodation) of the earnings will be subject to tax. An increase that is not insignificant.

According to the director of Airbnb for France and Belgium, Clément Eulry, “the median income generated annually is 3,900 euros gross”, he confided to Midi Libre. Currently, such an amount results in 920 euros in tax (based on a marginal rate of 30%). In 2025, the amount will increase to 1,290 euros, or an additional 370 euros.

The increase in taxation on short-term rentals is not linked to the various current increases. The project is being carried out since spring 2023 by two MPs (Annaïg Le Meur -EPR- and Iñaki Echaniz -PS-) to reduce the number of seasonal rentals in order to allow locals and workers to find accommodation more easily, particularly in Brittany, the Basque Country, on the Mediterranean coast and in Corsica. Until then, tax rules encouraged short-term rentals. Will this tightening make it possible to reverse the trend ?
