# PART 1 — EU STR REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 2026

## EU Regulation 2024/1028 — the universal rule

Adopted 29 April 2024, in force from 20 May 2026, **EU Regulation 2024/1028**
introduces uniform short-term rental (STR) data collection across all 27
Member States. Key provisions:

- Each Member State maintains a **national STR register** with mandatory
  registration for hosts.
- **Online platforms** (Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo, Holidu, Tripadvisor) must
  verify host registration numbers and **suspend listings without valid
  numbers** from 20 May 2026.
- **Activity data** (number of nights rented, number of guests, location)
  must be transmitted by platforms to a central EU clearing house.
- Hosts must display registration number publicly in listings.

**What this means for hosts:**
1. By 20 May 2026 every host needs a national registration (CWTON in Poland,
   CIN in Italy, RNAL in Portugal, ΑΜΑ in Greece, NRUA/VUT/HUTH in Spain).
2. Listings without registration numbers will be **automatically removed** —
   not a warning, an enforcement deadline.
3. Tax authorities will receive cross-border activity data via the central
   clearing house — making undeclared STR income trivially detectable.

## DAC7 Directive (already in force since 2023)

EU Directive 2021/514 (DAC7) requires platforms (Airbnb, Booking) to report
host income to local tax authorities. 2026 sees full enforcement: hosts who
underdeclared 2024 income will face audits using cross-referenced data.

# PART 6 — SPAIN (NRUA, VUT, HUTH — varies by region)

Spain has the **most fragmented** STR regulation in the EU because tourism
is regulated by autonomous communities (CCAA), not national law.

## NRUA (national overlay, 2025+)

**NRUA** = Número de Registro Único de Alquiler. National STR registration
introduced 2025 to consolidate 17 regional schemes.

- Each registered property gets a unique NRUA in addition to the regional
  number (VUT in Galicia, HUTG in Catalonia, VFT in Andalusia, VTT in Madrid)
- Required for EU 2024/1028 compliance from 20 May 2026

## Key autonomous regions

| Region | Regional code | Fines | Specifics |

| Madrid | VTT | €30 000 | New 2026 zoning restrictions |
| Andalusia | VFT | €18 000 | Málaga + Sevilla growth markets |
| Balearics | ETV | €40 000 | Strict cap on Mallorca, Ibiza |
| Canarias | VV | €30 000 | Decreto Vacacional 2024 reformed |
| Valencia | VTR | €600 000 (multi-property) | Alicante + Valencia caps |

## Spanish penalties

- **No regional registration**: €30 000–€600 000 (varies by CCAA)
- **No NRUA after May 2026**: platform listing removal + tax assessment
