Could be quite interesting if every charter boat is determined to be a floating hotel and occupants are taxed at 10% of their charter fee for sleeping every night
Europe and particularly France have been in this battle since +/- 2013. The EU ruled all yacht charters are responsible to pay VAT on the total price of the contract or +/- 20 percent. Italy is a clear 21%. The whole thing is hotly debated and you need a good lawyer to understand what is in, what is exempt, what is claimable. Moving to Florida if you rent anything without a crew. You must pay sales tax on the total rental.
