Does Airbnb charge guest taxes on what host are paid?

Do host have to pay taxes even though guest have been charged tax's on  the full amount by Airbnb, including what host make, knowing that host still has to pay taxes on what we make?

Airbnb charges guests VAT (If applicable) on the Guest Service Fee  and charges guests local taxes on behalf of the host (if applicable). It does not charge taxes on what the host is paid, except for the Host Service Fee (increased by VAT, if applicable)

Your listing shows it would charge me 21 % VAT on the Guest Service fee and these local taxes: 

Local Sales and Use Tax (Floyd) (Georgia)

 

Taxes you have to pay as a host regarding your earnings is a matter between you and the tax-authority.

I belief in some regions (Mexico ?) these personal taxes are already deducted, as being an obligation from Governement ?

Airbnb is only making $80.00 as a service fee. They are charging my guest $40.00 in taxes, that is 50%

I have to pay taxes on what my guest pays me as a host. Airbnb does not either pay or collect the taxes that I have to pay. Airbnb is charging my guest not only what they make as a service fee, but what I as a host is charging, an making as income. Can anyone help me understand this. Airbnb is not good when it comes to public relations, There impossible to get answers from them.
