Category: Tourist Development Tax

I have an account with Airbnb. Is there anything else I need to do?

This answer has been viewed 3646 times and was last updated on 11/22/2017.

Yes. At this time, Airbnb only collects and remits the 6% Sales Tax and the 1% Manatee County Surtax to the Florida Department of Revenue.

As a taxpayer, you are still responsible for the collection and the remittance of the additional 5% Tourist Development Tax to the Manatee County Tax Collector.

See the areas in Florida for which Airbnb collects and remits local taxes on behalf of hosts. At this time, Manatee County is not included.
