Hi all,
I just took over my friend's appartment and started airbnb today. I set up everything carefully. Then I went on another browser to see if I could see my listing using the search. It turned out I could, but it problem is that airbnb is not collecting occpancy tax for me while all the other listings have this option(as you can see in the photo my listing on the right doesn't have it).
I have already got two requests to book but I don't want to accept them when I am violeting the local laws on this.
Called airbnb three hours ago, a girl repeated that airbnb charges occupancy tax on behalf of the host so the host can't charge it. After 10 mintues of explaining myself, she finally understood what the problem was, aftering me on hold for a good 15 minutes she then told me she would have to call me back as soon as she can. But still no news yet.
I am wondering if it happens to all new listings or if it's because I missed filling in some information?
Best to all,
M
