Taxes

How do the taxes work and what should I be doing 

[Alicia753 · Accepted solution]

@Alicia1283 As an Airbnb host, understanding and managing taxes related to your rental income might be confusing. Some local governments require hosts to collect occupancy taxes (also known as tourist taxes, room taxes, or hotel taxes) from guests. In some areas, Airbnb collects and remits these taxes on behalf of hosts. In some countries, Airbnb may report your earnings to the tax authorities. You should receive a summary of your earnings from Airbnb for tax purposes.  If you're in a country that charges Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods and Services Tax (GST), or similar, you may need to consider how this affects your Airbnb earnings. You can also check this article 481 from Airbnb's help center. Hope this helps!
