Collecting sales and occupancy taxes

[Ian224]

So I am asking on behalf of a client who runs an Airbnb in NYC, where Airbnb does not collect any taxes. They have to collect Sales tax and occupancy tax (8.875% plus $1.50 per room per day) to the state and Occupancy taxes (5.875% plus $2 per room per day) to NYC. How do they go about collecting these taxes. Is there a way you can have them pay when they make the payment to Airbnb?

@Ian224 They can collect in person upon arrival or send a request through the Resolution Center after the reservation is made.

I am new to airbnb.  What is the resolution center and how does the renter pay the sales tax to them?

What should I do if I don't live near my rental and can't collect the sales tax in person? With VRBO, the renters pay me the sales tax and I make quarterly payments to the state. I juat had my first Airbnb rental and Airbnb said they collected the sales tax for me and will pay the state???? Quarterly? Annually? I would rather pay it myself. Any advice? Is there a phone number I can call and talk to someone at Airbnb? 

Thanks!
