Hi everyone!
After never-ending search through the help center I am asking here if anyone can help me through this important issue:
I am in EU, Germany and my Boyfriend is in Greece (also EU). I have made a listing through my account for an apartment in Greece and I am managing this listing. I made my boyfriend co-host and I gave him full access. Additionally, I routed the 100% payment of each booking to go to him.
He added his information and tax info and theoretically, we are good to go. Unfortunately, AirBnB ask me to provide a payout account and my tax info. If I do that, I will be taxed for the full booking amount, as said here in this following paragraph:
Taxes and payouts
Co-Host payouts will not impact the amount which will be reported to the listing owner for tax information reporting purposes. Listing owners will receive a tax document on the full booking amount, and Co-Hosts will receive a tax document for the amounts they receive as specified by the listing owner.
BUT, I am not actually will be getting any money, as the whole amount will go to my co-host (and he will be taxed for it). But I am asked to provide my German TIN, meaning that I will be also taxed for an amount that I will never receive.
Please help me fix this, I don't either want to do anything illegal nor I want us to be double taxed for an amount that only goes directly to my co-host.
Thank you for your time!
