I see there are lots of other threads on this subject. Shame there isn’t anyone at BDC to speak to. It’s almost as if BDC don’t understand how VAT works since it’s only relevant to companies and not private hosts.
Having said that, I noticed that where I entered my registration number I left the category as default rather than selecting “Registration number” … I’m wondering if this might have confused the system ?
Then booking.com have to detect the difference between private hosting and company hosting and only request a VAT number for company hosted accounts. Easy.
I noticed on my profile where I entered the license number I hadn’t set the category to “Registration number” but left it as default which looked like a business category. Corrected now but I wonder if this is causing the problem ?

Thank you for pointing that out.
We have a private property in Greece too and since we are not operating through a company we don't have a VAT number.
No one from booking.com to talk to about it but hopefully it will be resolved soon.
Will leave its for now until provision for private boating has been added / re-added.
