Canadian hosts charging GST.

hey

 

Just want to start a conversation and ask how other Canadian hosts are handling GST. We are now collecting enough revenue annually that the government most likely needs us to start paying GST. I don't think Airbnb offers this feature to turn on GST when collecting payments, does anyone know differently? How are others handling this, are you simply adding it to your nightly rate?

 

thanks and Happy Hosting!

hello @Corey-and-Darrell0 

Maybe @Andrea-and-Francis0 from Canada might have an answer..

 

Alternatively, use the search box with keywords related to Canada here in CC.

You may also like to reach out to other hosts listed in your location & send them an 'enquiry' to network together.

 

All the best

We just started with AirBnB. No idea if we are expected to collect GST ... or in our case, in Manitoba, PST. We haven't collected it for our first guests...

Did you not get any response to this question??

Hello @Corey-and-Darrell0 did you ever get an answer to this as I registered for a GST number but in the section where it asks to add a "VAT ID" which is GST for Canadians, it doesnt even allow me to select Canada as my country...
