Collecting gst in alberta

[Susan6369]

How do I add gst to my listing in Alberta, Canada.  I talked to support.  No help.  The value added tax VAT has every country but Canada.  Any advise?

See this Airbnb Help Article & YouTube video on GST. I would watch the video FIRST:

Add a Custom Tax

You can add a custom tax (HST) to your listing, but must turn on Professional Hosting Tools in your Account Settings first:

Yes. It was very helpful. I watched a video " Simplify Accounting" , she recommended.   That guided me through it.  Very thankful.
