occupancy taxes not being collected but I'm in city of los angeles

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping i can get some help on this as I've called the help line and havent had much luck.

I've spoken to my friends who host here and they didn't have to do /sign up for anything and their taxes in LA are being taken out automatically by air b and b and come out as a line item.  For some reason on my listing, they are not.  The only thing I can think of is that maybe it's cause its new?  My friend who lives in the back house on the same property as me does it and it is taken out for him so I don't think it has anything to do with zoning?  The only things i can think of is does anyone know if there is a lag time for air b and b to start doing this even in cities where they are supposed to do it?  Or is there some setting I have to click in order to enable it?  Or maybe cause there are 2 properties technically at the same address??  Any help would be amazing as I am very intimidated to start sending off the taxes to the city every month on my own, and why should I when air b and b does it for everyone else?!

thanks in advance,

shana

specifically if you go to my listing, you can see it doesn't say, before taxes in the total, and under book it it doesn't say taxes may apply
