How can we help?

In areas that Airbnb has made agreements with governments to collect and remit local taxes on behalf of hosts, Airbnb calculates applicable local taxes and collects those taxes from guests at the time of booking. Airbnb then takes care of remitting collected taxes to the applicable tax authority on the hosts' behalf.

This doesn’t change which taxes are due, but automating the process makes tax collection easier for all parties involved.

If occupancy tax is being collected for your area, it appears as a line item on your listing’s public page. You can also confirm what taxes are being collected and remitted by looking for occupancy tax details in Manage Listing > Location, underneath the Address section.

Taxes collected on reservations do not affect the amount of host payouts. Hosts continue to get their payout of accommodation fees minus Airbnb service fees.

Collected Occupancy Taxes are listed in the Gross Earnings section of hosts’ transaction history, and appear as a line item on all guest receipts.
