Municipal Accomodation Tax (MAT)

[Trang152]

Hi,

im a host in Thunder Bay. The city requires us to collect the MAT (4%). Does anyone know  if the occupancy tax that Airbnb charges on bookings is the same as MAT. I’ m confused as to whether or not this is a separate tax we are to charge. Also, the occupancy tax that airbnb is currently charging doesn’t add up to 4%, so I have no idea what this tax is. Help!

I’m just CHS, SC. It’s an additional tax. Had to pay a fee, get a business license and pay the 4% monthly.
