Since most large metro areas have piled tax upon tax on hotel fees in order to build stadiums and the like. the little guy looking to list his AirBNB is SOL.

Taxes are getting ridiculous but should be equal responsibility of everyone.

That could result in the rules affecting Airbnb not taking into account the industry’s uniqueness, and failing to find a long-term solution that recognizes and fosters new business models that benefit consumers.

This argument makes no sense. I have a unique business model where I should be obligated to pay no taxes whatsoever. Does that make me a credible player in the industry whose concerns should be addressed by my state legislature? LOL.

Some folks do buy houses for the sole purpose of renting them out as airbnb. Separating those from the rest of the folks is the problem to be solved.

They’re trying to help the special interests and screw teh little guy.

This rule needs to be a statute.

One of the things liberals don’t like about the tax sharing agreements is that it doesn’t give them the names and addresses of home-sharers. And these people want to hit every home-sharer with business license fees and other costs, not just collect the hotel tax.
