Short stay levy in Victoria

[Maddy109]

Is the short stay levy included in the airbnb service fee or should it be shown separately

Hi @Maddy109 😊, 

Thank you for asking this relevant question in the community!

The short stay levy is typically not included in the Airbnb service fee. It is usually shown separately, as it is a tax or fee imposed by local authorities.

However, it is always a good practice to check the specific regulations and guidelines in the area where the property is located, as these can vary by location. To be sure of this, I recommend connecting with hosts in your area through our 👉 Local Host Clubs.

Don't forget to let us know what you find out. I’m sure other hosts in the future will find your post helpful!

Warm regards🌻,

Hi @Elisa 

I have a property listed on Airbnb that is also my primary residence.  Airbnb has automatically added the levy to my listing!  How do I go about getting this changed?

Thank you for letting me know!

I am mentioning experienced hosts in case they have any ideas on that: @Lorina14, @Shelley159, @Karen4131 and @Till-and-Jutta0.

Thank you in advance, everyone!
