The public organization of small and medium-sized entrepreneurship "Support Russia" offered before the beginning of the summer season to legitimize the market of guest houses. The owners passing the rooms in the daily rent will be able to get out of the "shadows". However, experts argue that not all entrepreneurs will want to legalize the business: everything will depend on the amount of taxes and requirements for the new property.
From October 2019, the law entered into force, according to which it is impossible to provide hotel services in residential buildings and apartments. Because of this, people who earlier handed over the rooms for tourists, became illegal entrepreneurs.
As noted in the "Support of Russia", in some regions the proportion of guest houses comes to 50% of the total hotel of the hotel room foundation. So, in the Crimea of the room in their homes for rent for rent 9.5 thousand inhabitants, of which only 2.5 thousand are registered as individual entrepreneurs.
"In residential buildings now you can not arrange hotels and rent rooms. However, this is completely and near. Regulation of the sphere is needed, this is a way to make business legal, but you have to pay taxes. At the resorts, the delivery of houses and rooms for rent is one of the main activities. In the other Russian cities, guest houses often are apartments. So far, it is not clear what the law will be accepted which the amount of taxes will be. If taxes are high - those who want to legalize the business will, naturally, a bit, "the lawyer Alexander Shcherbinin comments.
"Guest houses will compete not so much with apartments as with quite traditional recreation databases and boarding houses. As long as the bill suggests extending this status at home IZhS, for residential premises. It seems that we are talking about the opportunity to rent such houses for rent, not observing (fully) requirements for enterprises from the field of hotel services (certification, "stars" and other). The confusion in the legislation will necessarily, without it. According to preliminary estimates, the optimal version is the status of self-employed for the owner and the status of the Guest House for the facility. This will provide an opportunity to legally advertise your services without risking to please under an article about illegal entrepreneurship, "said Dmitry Sinkin market expert.
