Transient Occupancy Tax

[Amanda1096]

Hi!  I need some advice.  Airbnb automatically collects a 3% transient tax for the County that my listings are in.  Now, the City that my listings are in also wants a 3% transient tax, which Airbnb will not automatically collect.  Is there a way to add an additional transient tax of 3% without overriding the 3% that Airbnb automatically takes out?

Have you been able to find any information on adding this to your listing? I wonder, is this additional 3% tax a new regulation that's just come into action?

I was able to find this article in the Help Center that talks about how you can add taxes (either replacing or in addition to the ones that already collected) so that might be some help for you >> https://www.airbnb.co.uk/help/article/2523

Hi Breanna. Thanks for the article.  I've read this one already.  We currently have 2 Occupancy taxes we are required to pay, one to the County and one to the City.  The County has a relationship with Airbnb so those are automatically calculated and paid for through Airbnb.  The City does not have a relationship with Airbnb so they have to be done manually.  The only solution I've found so far is to enter the City tax per reservation through the Resolution Center.  It's tedious and a real pain in the butt.
