Taxes for guests

Sometimes, local tax regulations require hosts to charge taxes to guests. We recommend that hosts include any taxes in the price of the reservation, but some may require them to be paid through the Resolution Centre upon check-in instead.

Where to find taxes

We ask that hosts add any necessary taxes to their listing description and disclose them to guests prior to booking. If you’re a guest and want to be on top of it, ask your host about taxes in advance.

Local tax considerations

In some locations, Airbnb may collect and remit certain local taxes on behalf of hosts. The taxes vary and may include calculations based on a flat rate or percentage rate, number of guests, number of nights, or property type booked, depending on local law. When you book a listing in one of these locations, the local taxes collected will be displayed automatically when you pay, and they will appear on your receipt once your reservation is confirmed. Find out about tax exemption refunds for certain locations.
