I’m in an unincorporated part of SD county & Airbnb does not collect TOT. I went on the website for the county & also talked with a person in the tax collector’s office. Hosts are responsible for registering their Airbnb with the county, collecting tax from each guest (8%), & sending the money in to the county office quarterly. There are forms on the website to do all of this. It’s a self-registering system, as Airbnb does not notify the county of who is hosting. But if a host deducts expenses from the IRS for Airbnb costs, it makes sense to me to run the business within the law.
There doesn’t seem to be a logical place to put this fee on our listings. Guests need to pay the tax upon arrival & need to be notified ahead of time. When I’ve gone on listings in other cities, it’s listed under Additional Fees ( I think).
What are other hosts doing? Where do you list this tax? Sorry for being wordy but there’s a lot to this!
