Shot-Term Rental Anchorage Tax
Hi all,
Just recently listed my first property on Airbnb and I have a couple questions about taxes. If I understand correctly, Airbnb automatically collects Anchorage muni 12% tax from the guest (see article here) and I don't need to worry about it. However, when I'm looking at other listings, there is often a line-item for "Occupancy taxes and fees."
Is that fee automatically added by Airbnb, or is that added by the host? If added by Airbnb, why don't I see it on my listing? If added by host, am I currently covering taxes out of my payout and I should add a taxes and fees charge to each booking?
