Master the Art of Tax Apportionment

Most short-term rental hosts leave money on the table—or worse, invite an audit—because they don’t understand "Apportionment." It sounds like an accounting headache, but it’s actually the key to a bulletproof tax return.

The Gist: If you don't rent out 100% of your home, 100% of the time, tax rules typically won't let you claim 100% of the bills. Apportionment is the process of carving out exactly what is "Business" or "Income Generating" vs. what is "Private."

The Dunit Secret: We use a two-factor formula:

Area: The total size of the property. How many square meters are exclusive to guests? How much is shared (the "Common Area")?

Time: How much of the year available for rent? Was the room "Genuinely Available" or used for a private weekend with friends?

The Result: By defining your areas once in Dunit, every receipt you upload gets an automatic "haircut." You stop guessing, and your tax log becomes a surgical record of facts.
