Alberta Canada business licence

[Bryan594]

Hello folks, just wondering what's required for registering an Airbnb. Do you just need to go to the registries office and register your business and get a business identification number? Or is this not required? My understanding from my local city, Calgary, is that we do not require a city business permit for this type of operation... Has that been anyone's experience?

Also, I have my property available 185 days per year and I offer the whole house. To make this a legitimate business that the CRA will consider, is this all I require or do I need to offer other services such as cooking, tours, etc.?

Would love to get into a conversation with anybody in the same boat and discuss ideas and strategies with regards to Airbnb.

Thanks in advance!

Did you look to see see if your area had a local hits club that could help you with your issue.
