Opening your first property? Start here.
Set up the establishment first, then the guest routine. Give each task an owner, even if that owner is you.
- 01
Confirm your operating basis
Check RUT, registration category, permitted use and building rules with your chamber and local authority. Start with the RNT guide.
- 02
Create the reporting accounts
Check RNT status, access to the registered email, SIRE registration and your TRA route before your first arrival.
- 03
Agree the invoicing process
Ask your accountant who invoices, which taxes apply and which DIAN solution and numbering you will use.
- 04
Rehearse one complete stay
Walk through guest data, reports, departure, invoice and proof. Decide who handles a rejected submission or an unavailable portal.
General guidance, not individual legal or tax advice. Obligations depend on your activity and circumstances. Check changes with the authority or your adviser before acting.
Make the routine feel lighter.
