Denver Airbnb hosts: How are you collecting Lodger’s Tax?
I'm sure this is made to be a big pain in the neck by design, but I want to comply and am not seeing a straightforward way to collect Denver's Lodger’s Tax in Airbnb. Denver rules state "The Lodger’s Tax rate of 10.75% is based on the total amount charged for the lodging, which includes any fees or charges that are required in order to obtain the lodging. Lodger’s Tax is to be collected at the time of sale, regardless of when the lodging occurs."
Okay, so we need to collect "at the time of sale," however, I see no place within Airbnb to charge for nor collect this. Am I completely missing this step somewhere? I see that Airbnb collects and remits occupancy taxes, which is great, but how about Lodger’s Tax? Any help is greatly appreciated!
