Double tax on AirBnB cleaning fees?

Jeremy Janszen
  • Chagrin Falls, OH
Posted

Hello! AirBnB automatically charges our guests their occupancy tax and that tax is on both the nightly rate and the cleaning fee.  We don't do the cleaning ourselves, but have a cleaning company take care of this after each stay.  However, our cleaning company charges us a sales tax for their fees -- which are the same fees we pass along to our guests.  So, is the tax for the costs of housekeeping for my AirBnB being charged twice at two different points in time (once when I pay the housekeeper and once when my guest reimburses me for paying the housekeeper)?  If so, is this right and/or how can I eliminate the double taxation on the same service?  Thanks for the guidance, as usual!
