Refunds across different listings

[AnthonyandMarius0]

Hello has anyone experienced this issue I am having with Airbnb.   I have a home in Europe and another in Asia.  My income is paid into different bank accounts in local currency and I pay tax accordingly.  40% in EU vs 15% in Asia.

However I recently refunded a guest in Europe and the deduction was made from a future reservation in Asia.  When calling Airbnb CS I explained that it should be deducted from future reservations in Europe not Asia - the reason being income tax is completely different in both countries.  If I get income in Europe say 1000 € and refund 500 € I should get less income on my next reservation in Europe and pay less tax on income.  ( I should be paying tax on 500 €)

As a result I am getting a deduction on income in a different country and in which I pay half the tax.   I dont even know how to explain this to my accountant or inland revenue.    Does anyone have any insight or experience with his.?

Any input would be highly appreciated.

Hi @AnthonyandMarius0 😊

Thank you for asking this in the community!

Did you find an answer elsewhere?

I suggest connecting with Hosts in Europe and Asia through our Local Host Clubs and asking them if they have any advice regarding your situation.

Let me know how it goes!

Warm regards, 🌻
