Why and how should I provide my tax information in my personal account?

Updated on 07/08/2026

A "Taxation" section has appeared in your host dashboard and you are wondering what it is about? No worries. Here is why this information is being requested and how to fill it out in a few minutes.

Am I subject to this regulation?

The European directive 2021/514, known as "DAC7", requires Roomlala to collect certain tax information from hosts who earn income via the platform, and then transmit it to the relevant tax authorities.

You are subject to this if you:

  • are a tax resident of a member state of the European Union,
  • or rent out a property located in the European Union.

If this applies to you, providing your tax information is mandatory. The "Taxation" section will then appear in your host dashboard: this is the sign that this information is being requested from you.

How do I provide my tax information?

It only takes a few minutes. Have your tax identification number (or your business information) ready, then follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your personal Roomlala account.
  2. Open the "Host" menu, then click on the Taxation section.
  3. In the "You are" field, indicate whether you are filling out the form as an individual or as a company.
  4. Fill in the requested fields.
  5. Click on "Save".

Individual or company: what should I choose?

At the very top of the form, the "You are" field gives you a choice between two options. You can switch from one to the other at any time: the fields to be filled out automatically adjust to your selection.

  • "An individual": you are renting in your own name. You will be asked for your first and last name, your date and country of birth, as well as your TIN (tax identification number, found on your tax notices).
  • "A company": you are renting in the name of a legal entity (company). You will be asked for the corporate name, the registration number and, if applicable, the VAT number (optional).

In both cases, you will also enter your address (country, street, zip code, and city), then click on "Save".

What happens if I do not provide this information?

Roomlala has a legal obligation to collect this information and transmit it to the relevant tax authorities. As long as your form is not completed, the disbursement of your rental income is suspended until the situation is regularized.
