Taxes on listings in Brooklyn

[Amber39]

So, my roommate and I decided to put up our extra rooms on airbnb for a few weeks, but we are still unsure about how much money will be going to taxes. Our listing is in Brooklyn and since Airbnb does not collect taxes on our behalf, I was advised to see how much other Hosts in the area have been charged for taxes in the past.

Have a look at Airbnb's help section under local tax.

I read up on all the information regarding taxes, but I was hoping to get the exact percentages of each of the taxes. When talking to an Airbnb representative, she suggested that I reach out to other hosts, rather than trying to go through the different government offices/websites trying to figure out the different tax percentages.
