How much is the Host fee that Flatio charges for its services?

• Host fee amount
• VAT on the host fee
• How we decide which VAT rate applies
• EU VAT rates by country

Flatio takes a small commission from each rental payment to fund the services we offer you.

Host fee amount

Flatio charges 5% (+ VAT) for private rooms and 7.5% (+ VAT) for whole properties.

You can always see the amount of the Host fee in the My Rentals web application.

Note: These are our current rates. Flatio reserves the right to change commission rates in the future. We'll inform hosts of any change in this regard.

VAT on the host fee

VAT is added on top of the host fee percentage. The rate depends on your country and your VAT number:

• Hosts in the Czech Republic – 21% VAT applies to all invoices.
• EU hosts with a VAT number valid in the EU VIES database – Invoices are issued with 0% VAT under the reverse charge mechanism. You are responsible for reporting and paying VAT in your own country.
• EU hosts without a VAT number valid in VIES – The standard VAT rate for your country is applied to your invoices. See the EU VAT rates table below for current rates.
• Hosts outside the EU – No VAT is charged.

How we decide which VAT rate applies

The VAT rate depends on the VAT number in your billing information in My Rentals – you don't need to set anything else. If you're an EU host outside the Czech Republic, we check your VAT number in the EU VIES database when you save it and regularly after that. If it's valid, we issue your invoices in reverse charge mode. If it isn't, we add VAT at your country's rate.

Note: When reverse charge applies, your invoice will include the note: "Invoice in Reverse charge mode. The customer is obligated to fill in the VAT amounts and pay the tax." This means Flatio does not collect VAT on your behalf – you handle it according to your local tax regulations.

EU VAT rates by country

Note: Some special territories (e.g. Canary Islands, Madeira, Azores, certain Greek islands) may have different rates or be exempt from EU VAT. If you're based in one of these regions, your invoice will reflect the applicable rate automatically.
