Sullivan County NY Tax Help

[Amy3219]

We were wondering if anyone could provide us with some information regarding any additional New York State tax information we might need to be aware of.   We understand that Airbnb collects occupancy taxes but what about state or local taxes.   Do these get paid at tax time or in advance?   Thank you for your help in this matter!

Hi @Amy3219 👋

I found some information and articles that might help: 

Sullivan County

Guests who book Airbnb listings that are located in Sullivan County, NY will pay the following taxes as part of their reservation:

• Sullivan County Hotel and Motel Room Occupancy Tax: 5% of the listing price including any cleaning fee for reservations 89 nights and shorter. For detailed information, please visit the Sullivan County Treasurer website.

Taxes

New York City and New York State impose multiple taxes that may apply to transient occupancy or tourist use, subject to certain exemptions. Examples of taxes that could apply to your listing are:

• State and City sales tax
• City hotel room occupancy tax
• State and City nightly room fees

Information about state-administered taxes is available on the New York State’s Department of Taxation website.

Information about City-administered taxes is available on the City’s website.

There was also this thread on taxes for hosting in New York. 

I hope this helps!
