MILAN A boost for the tourism sector heavily penalized by the coronavirus crisis, a little oxygen for families whose incomes have been overwhelmed by closings and shutdowns. This is the spirit with which the so-called “Holiday Bonus” was born. A measure, which according to the Minister of Cultural Heritage and TourismDario FranceschinIt is worth 2.4 billion euros.
Vacation voucher what is
The measure, provided for in article 183 of the relaunch decree, introduces a tax credit for expenses incurred from July 1 to December 31. The bonus can reach 500 euros for families of at least three people and is reduced to 300 in the case of families of 2 people and 150 euros for singles. The contribution is recognized to all households with ISEE income that does not exceed 40 thousand euros.

Payment, the text specifies, must be documented by electronic invoice or commercial document, indicating the tax code of the person who intends to use the credit. Furthermore, the text always explains that the payment of the service must be paid without the help, intervention or intermediation of the subjects that administer telematic platforms or portals that are not travel agencies and tour operators.

The Airbnb protest
This point alone drew criticism from Airbnb. Family vacation tax credit, said country manager for Airbnb, Italy and Southeast Europe, Giacomo found, at the hearing in the Senate Industry Committee, “appears to exclude the use of digital platforms for payment and, therefore, to benefit from this measure. We express our dissent in this regard.” “We hope that the exclusion of platforms from the measure can be removed,” he said, referring to the Relaunch dl. In addition, he added, “distributing vacation coupons to families to be used in all tourist accommodation and accommodations would be a simpler measure.”
