Sales Tax License

[Laura6774]

I'm looking for help on how to set up my AirBnB account so that they take out the taxes required for the county that our rental is in.  We just got a sales tax license, because the county required it before we could get our permit for short term renting.  I just assumed AirBnB was already taking out the required taxes.  I've searched all over the AirBnB site, but really not sure what to do next.   Any help you can offer would be great.

Hi @Laura6774 

First, determine what sales tax and/or occupancy taxes (percentage) you are requred to pay to each taxing authority for the legal address of listing

State of Colorado?

Park County?

Town of Fairplay?

Then you can determine if Airbnb is actually collecting the amount required. Here is a help article about taxes in Colorado, but it's pretty vague as it refers to each county may have different rates:

You can also check who Airbnb is collecting taxes for (but not the percentages) by going to your Listing:
