Eastern Panhandle, WV Tax

[Sasha-Lerner0]

Hello, I need your professional input and expertise. I own one short term rental in Berkely County , WV and I read that AirBnb withholds lodging taxes automatically . Is this accurate? Do I need to pay my tax office anything else ? 
I understand income Tax that is guided separately . 
please help me with this 

thank you

According to the AirBnB website on my listing:

Applicable taxes
Our system determines which taxes are applicable by the address you enter for your listing. Please check your listing's details to make sure your address is correct. Even if Airbnb automatically collects and pays certain taxes on your behalf, you may still be required to manually collect other taxes on accommodation. For example, Airbnb may collect regional taxes but not local ones in some places. Also, Airbnb is not responsible for any tax collection errors due to typos.

Checking for tax collection eligibility

1. Check tax collection eligibility on desktop
2. Click Listings and select the listing you want to check
3. In Listing editor, click Edit preferences
4. Click Taxes
   
   If we collect taxes for your area, you’ll see a tax collection setting on the page. If there isn't a section for local tax collection under Taxes, we don’t automatically collect and pay on your behalf for that listing.
