Hotel Occupancy Tax

I see that this topic has been talked about but I'm not finding a good answer.

I'm in Tyler, Texas with one property. The HOT (hotel occupancy tax) that AirBnB collects is a STATE tax that is sent to the State of Texas. There is a LOCAL 9% HOT that is not collected and thus not remitted to the city. 

 

I'd LOVE to know if there is a way to auto-add this to a reservation so the guest can see it. I'm then HOPING it would be reported in the CSV we can download so I can report and remit the 9% to the city without a ton of spreadsheet gyrations.

 

Anyone else have experience with this?

@Phil3896  You are able to add the local 9% tax using the custom tax section of your listing.  That will then show and collect the tax from your guests.

 

However, without a tax agreement between AirBnB and your city tax department, the collected city tax will be sent to you as part of the guest payment ( less the state tax ) and you will have to file and pay the tax according to you city regulations .  

How AirBnB will codify this tax on the csv that they offer is questionable. I doubt that there will be an easy to use breakdown.    You may need to calculate what is being collected per rental yourself.
