They keep brushing me off and tell me that I need to collect the extra taxes at the time of check in or by opening a resolution for every single booking I get. That sounds ridiculous!
This is a business and I manage multiple listings I don't see each guest that walks into my vacation rentals.
Airbnb's documentation even goes as far as saying that I can opt-out of automatic tax collection and add my own taxes which are then forwarded directly to me so that I can in turn pay them on my own. Why are they not giving me this option?
This is from Airbnb's documentation directly:
If you opt out of default tax collection and add your own taxes, we collect the taxes on your nightly rate and fees but pass them to you to remit to the tax authorities. If you add taxes in addition to the taxes we automatically collect, we pass your additional taxes to you to remit to the tax authorities, and we remit the taxes we automatically collect directly to the tax authorities. If you opt out of default tax collection, adding a tax replaces all default taxes.
