Airbnb was accused of tax fraud in Italy—and is now paying a hefty fine. The Italian government is seizing €779M from Airbnb for alleged failure to pay taxes on some of its rental revenue in the country. This incident is part of a broader effort by Italian authorities to scrutinize the tax practices of global companies, with previous cases involving Netflix and Meta. We know from YPulse’s Travel report that Airbnb is young Europeans’ most-used type of accommodation when taking a trip. (Bloomberg)
