Airbnb Account set up for Tax INFO

[Bernice39]

Hi

I set up the Airbnb site as myself but on behalf of my mother.  The site wants Tax Info but obviously I dont want to add mine, I just manage it all for her.  The site seems intent on only allowing my info.... am I missing something here?  Surely it would be quite usual for say a Host to manage the site on behalf of someone else.

any pointers gratefully received.

@Bernice39 have a quick chat with HMRC. Their queue is shortest at 8.30am. Hopefully they will tell you that as long as the owner declares the income then it doesnt matter who Airbnb say has received the income.

You could also consider making your mum a co-host and directing all the revenue to her.

If you are cohosting the listing for your mum - you  should have set up your mum as the host then and added yourself as the cohost @Bernice39 

As you didn't do this I agree with @Mike-And-Jane0 add her now and if you aren't taking a cut have 100% of the funds diverted to her bank.
