Otsego County Tax in NY

[Kailey19]

Hello! I'm a new host in Otsego County, NY. For tax purposes, I've been told I need to give 4% to the county and 8% to NY State. However, i've seen some listings in this area where AirBnB incorporates this into the rate. How do I set this up so the taxes are automatically taken out? Come tax time, do I need to do anything additional if AirBnB pays those taxes through my income with each rental? Thank you!

Some taxes are automatically charged by Airbnb, you don't have to set these manually,

please read this information:

I wanted to look at your listing to check charging of taxes, but listing is not active

@Emiel1 Thank you!! This is helpful! We are in the process of renovating our AirBnb as we just purchased it, so we don't have it listed yet. I am just trying to get all my ducks in a row before listing. 🙂
