Catalan Government introduces new legislation on tourist apartments
Owners will have to be licenced and pay a new fee
The Catalan Government has approved new regulations which say that owners of flat rented out to tourists will now have to apply for a municipal licence and pay a fee. It also means it will be far easier for the Spanish taxman to take his share.
The Catalan Government says that it is taking action in the face of an estimated 480,000 illegal apartments in the region, and says it will impose fines of up to 90,000 €. Landlords have a year in which to comply with the new legislation.
They consider the previous lack of control has resulted only in problems for the neighbours.
A tourist apartment is considered to be any which is rented out for periods of less than three months. Not included are flats which are part of a block which has shared tourist services, such as a concierge – they will be considered as a hotel.
Councillor for innovation and business, Josep Huguet, said that the new legislation is ‘an incentive’ to local Town Halls to gain more income, as they will be given the responsibility of making inspections.
However the President of the Catalan Federation of Tourist Apartments, FEDERATUR, Lluís Torrent, has described the move as ‘very negative’ and said they will launch an appeal. He considers just making a register of such apartments would be enough and that the three-month rule would also hit students, executives and others.

Spanish Government brings in less sticky chewing gum
Chewing gum manufactured in Spain has to include new polymers
In these times of recession and difficult economic decisions, some may consider one of the decisions made by the Spanish Cabinet on Friday as welcome relief.
The Spanish Government has decided to change the rules on the manufacture of chewing gum to make it less sticky and the cleaning up of pavements easier.
32 years after first legislation on the matter, chewing gum must now be made from a new synthetic polymer, copolymer of vinyl acetate and vinyl laurate.
New technologies and ingredients mean that Spanish chewing gum manufacturers can now compete with European competitors.
