Description

Many taxpayers have found renting a vacation property, their personal residence, or a room a reasonable way to supplement their income. This has led to an explosive growth of platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Trip Advisor, and other marketplace vendors. Consequently, states have quickly moved to impose taxes on these rentals and require these facilitators to collect and remit said taxes.

The combination of taxes imposed and methods of applying these taxes is astounding. There are state accommodations, local accommodations, lodging, transient, and occupancy taxes, to name a few. Taxes vary based on the location of the property. Some jurisdictions within the same state may or may not charge an accommodation tax. Determining what items are included in a tax calculation is complicated.

Numerous states collect sales tax on cleaning fees, however Colorado, for example, considers this a reimbursable expense and does not. What is certain is that there are significant penalties for failing to comply, and ultimately the owner is responsible for the calculation and timely remittance of these various tax types.

Listen as our panel of rental veterans explains the most frequently assessed taxes on short-term rentals and the specific taxes imposed in certain states.
