Managing a hotel

The commencement of the activity is concurrent with the transmission of the SCIA to the Municipality where the property intended for hotel activity is located.

The Tourism Service consequently registers the accommodation facility in the provincial Tourism Information System and communicates the credentials for access to the STU system.

The regulatory obligations in the management of a hotel facility are:

• Acquisition, indication and display of the National Identification Code (NIC), following the instructions at this link https://www.provincia.tn.it/Servizi/Come-ottenere-il-Codice-Identificativo-Nazionale-CIN-per-strutture-ricettive.

• Online declaration of the personal details of guests accommodated to the State Police. The legal requirement for all accommodation facilities to send their lodging details online came into force on 22 December 2011 with law no. 214 and was reinforced with the provisions of the decree law of 7 January 2013.

• Online communication of tourist movements to ISTAT. This regulatory obligation is established by the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of 22 July 2011 - Article 1, which provides, as of 1 July 2013, for the exchange of data for statistical purposes between businesses and public administrations exclusively by telematic means.

• Payment of the TOURIST TAX to Trentino Riscossioni. The Provincial Tourist Tax is payable to the Autonomous Province of Trento and is collected by the managers of accommodation facilities, who assume the role of tax substitute pursuant to art. 64 of Presidential Decree no. 600/1973. The collection, control, reimbursement and any other management activity of the tax, including administrative sanctions, is entrusted to Trentino Riscossioni S.p.A.

If, in addition to the hotel business, you intend to set up a food and beverage business open to the public, you must initiate the appropriate procedure with your municipality(Provincial Law 14/07/2000 n. 9)
