Taxes

[Barbara928]

I've read the info AirBnB provides about taxes as well as questions from the community and am still VERY confused. I live in Oregon and the website says state taxes are paid for us - but what records do I receive to verify this? I pay taxes myself when I book through other mechanisms and I don't know whether to consider Air BnB bookings as "already paid" or not!  More importantly, my city collects a 7% tax. Apparently I am supposed to collect this myself from guests and call it an "add on".  I KNOW guests will be unhappy with this?  Can't taxes be added as a line item along with Housekeeping or Security Deposit.  PLEASE!!  Nobody LIKES to pay taxes, but my city needs them, and I think it is important for us all to do the right thing.
