Taxes

[Matt3899]

Hello,

I am a host from Missouri. I have been, and continue to go back and forth with BnB over taxes. BnB is charging my guests taxes for the cleaning fees they pay. This is not allowed by the State of Missouri. Per the Department of Revenue's website, taxes shall only be collected only on room rental. I went as far as speaking to an agent from the DOR and they confirmed this.

BnB simply will not acknowledge this, and continues to collect improper taxes.

What do I do?

Are you sure that pertains to strs or maybe just to long term rentals?

In any case, I don't think you''ll have much luck trying to battle Airbnb on this. Seems like something for the Missouri tax dept to talk to Airbnb about if they are charging taxes illegally.
