Compliance across Europe can be complex: different rules in every market, constant regulatory changes, and endless documentation. As the management system built for independent hoteliers, Amenitiz removes that burden — we monitor regulatory updates, automate workflows, and keep certifications current across Spain, France, Italy, and Portugal. GDPR, invoice reporting, guest registration, tourist taxes and beyond: they're built into Amenitiz and kept current, alongside everything else you run your property with. You get one system to manage your hotel and your compliance requirements; we handle the technical infrastructure behind it.
Note: As a hotel operator, you remain responsible for understanding your specific regulatory obligations and consulting legal counsel as needed. Amenitiz provides the technology and integrations to make compliance manageable and easy on your side.
Universal standards across Europe
Data Protection & Guest Privacy (GDPR)
Your guests' data is protected under Europe's strictest privacy standards.

🇪🇸 Spain: Regulatory requirements & Amenitiz support
Verifactu (real-time invoice reporting)
Verifactu requires invoicing software to generate and report invoice records to the Spanish tax authority AEAT (Agencia Estatal de Administración Tributaria) in a certified, tamper-evident format. It becomes mandatory from January 2027 for companies, and July 2027 for self-employed taxpayers. Amenitiz already issues Verifactu-compliant invoices and transmits the required records to AEAT.

INE Reporting (Encuesta de Ocupación Hotelera/Turística)
Hotels must submit periodic occupancy and guest data to Spain's National Statistics Institute (INE) through its national tourism surveys (EOH/EOAT). Amenitiz generates a complete, INE-compliant XML file for you - no manual data entry, no editing the file. You download it from your email and upload it to the INE IRIA portal in a few clicks.
✓ Included in Amenitiz
Statistical Reporting (ARCE, ISTAC, and other regional systems)
Some regions also require periodic statistical returns on occupancy and guests. These are submitted to Spain's National Statistics Institute INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadística) through regional reporting systems. Where a property is required to report, Amenitiz produces returns in the format the relevant regional authority requires.
✓ Included in Amenitiz
Tourist Tax (Regional)
Tourist tax is set at regional level, with different rates and rules in Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, and elsewhere. Rates are configured per property in Amenitiz, then calculated, collected, and itemized on each invoice.

Guest Registration (nightly reporting to authorities)
Accommodation providers must report guest details to authorities for each night of stay. The receiving authority and the exact data required vary by region.

🇫🇷 France: Regulatory requirements & Amenitiz support
E-Invoicing (PDP - Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire)
France requires B2B invoices to be issued and received through an approved e-invoicing platform. The rollout is phased by company size: large companies and mid-sized enterprises (ETI) must issue e-invoices from September 2026, with SMEs and micro-businesses (most independent hotels fall within this category) following from September 2027 - but all businesses must be able to receive e-invoices from September 2026.
Amenitiz partners with Invopop, an approved e-invoicing platform (PDP), to automatically handle the issuing of invoices to your clients; this setup is compatible with other systems you may be using for receiving invoices from your suppliers.
