How have other cities gone about getting their taxes automatically taken and remitted through Airbnb? Right now, Local and State taxes are automatically sent out through Airbnb but we have to collect and submit Tourism Development Tax manually through our city website. It would be so nice to have it automatically be sent to the agency. It would also ensure fairness through and through.

@Danielle1342 If you read the stories about Airbnb tax collection you may regret ever asking for this. New Jersey seems to have specific issues where hosts have to pay twice but generally Airbnb seems to agree to remit a lump sum to the tax authorities and doesn't say from which listings it comes. This then causes chaos when the authority asks you to prove the tax has been remitted.
