Occupancy Tax British Columbia

[Nicole1897]

I am looking for help in deciphering Air Bnb's calculation of the Occupancy Tax. As far as I am aware, this should be 8% PST and 2-3% MRDT depending on location. Unfortunately, the calculation doesn't add up. Is anyone able to provide a breakdown of the calculation used by Air bnb?

Hi @Nicole1897 , Hope you are doing well! Did you happen to reach out to Airbnb Customer Support to learn more about the Occupancy tax breakdown?

I managed to grab a few articles from the Help Centre in case they may help with a general idea regarding the tax matters : 

• Tax collection and remittance by Airbnb in Canada
• How does occupancy tax collection and remittance by Airbnb work?

I am also sharing a link to previous discussions where Hosts from Canada @M199 @Neill23 were discussing taxes and see if they can help us with your question. It would also be a good idea to refer to that discussion as it contains a lot of knowledge about taxes with screenshots : Click here to view discussion.

Keep us posted if you've already found some useful info in the meantime!
