Ohrid tourism sector tax compliance campaign

Overview

The Public Revenue Office (UJP) and the Municipality of Ohrid have launched an initiative to increase tax compliance within the local tourism sector. The campaign, titled ‘Fair tourism begins with reported income,’ focuses on educating taxpayers about their legal obligations to report income from various sources.

Regulations target all forms of accommodation, including apartments, houses, and rooms rented through online platforms like Airbnb, Booking.com, and TripAdvisor, as well as through social media. These requirements apply to both long-term and short-term rentals, regardless of whether guests are domestic or foreign, or if payments are made via cash or bank transfer.

The scope of the measures extends to the formalization of seasonal workers and the taxation of recreational equipment rentals, such as kayaks and paddleboards. The stated objectives are to reduce the gray economy, eliminate illegal providers, and ensure fair competition to support local economic development.
