The Meublé de Tourisme » classification (from 1 à 5 étoiles) is a voluntary national démarche that qualifies your seasonal rental for a duration of;e de 5 ans, période à à l'après laquelle le loueur doit effectuer une nouvelle demande de classement s'il souhaite que son hébergement continue à bén&e beneficiaire d'un classement.
The grading grid contains 133 criteria divided into 3 main sections: facilities and layout, customer services, accessibility and sustainable development.
The main one is a flat-rate allowance of 50% on rental income. Without this classification, the tax allowance rate is 30% on rental income. In fact, if you declare the income from your property as micro BIC (Bénéfices Industriels et Commerciaux), you currently benefit from a tax allowance of 30%. If you have your property classified as a Meublé de Tourisme, you will receive an additional tax allowance and will be entitled to a 50% tax allowance on the income from your property. Only gîtes are concerned. By way of contrast, the rate of tax relief on rental income from chambres d'hôtes is 50%.
Another advantage: you can also benefit from an exemption from council tax and property tax in certain communes in rural regeneration areas
