INE IPHH Reporting for Alojamento Local: What Portuguese Hosts Must Submit

Portugal requires AL hosts to submit monthly statistical data to the INE (Instituto Nacional de Estatística) through the IPHH survey.

Many hosts only discover this requirement after opening their property.

The IPHH report tracks tourism data including:

• Number of guests

• Nationalities

• Nights stayed

• Occupancy statistics

Authorities use this data to monitor tourism trends across Portugal.

Who Must Submit IPHH Reports?

All Alojamento Local operators must submit monthly reports, including hosts listing on:

• Airbnb

• Booking.com

• Direct booking websites

Even if your property had zero guests, you may still need to submit a report.

Data Required

The IPHH report includes:

• Total guests

• Total nights

• Country of origin

• Occupancy rate

The deadline is usually monthly reporting for the previous month.

Common Host Challenges

Hosts often struggle because:

• Data is spread across Airbnb and Booking

• Manual counting takes time

• Errors lead to rejected reports

Automating IPHH Reporting

Compliance platforms like EazyAL simplify this process by aggregating booking data and preparing reports automatically.

Instead of manually calculating statistics each month, hosts can generate compliant reports in minutes.

Why IPHH Compliance Matters

Failure to submit reports can result in administrative penalties.

More importantly, staying compliant protects your AL license and avoids complications with local authorities.

Professional hosts treat compliance reporting as part of their operational workflow.
