IValue Added Tax (iVAT) nendlela esebenza ngayo kuwe

Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax assessed on the supply of goods and services. In certain countries, such tax may be referred to as Goods and Services Tax (GST), service tax, or consumption tax (collectively referred to as “VAT” in this article). 

Depending on your country of residence or location of listing, Airbnb is required to apply VAT to Airbnb service fees on your reservation in countries that tax electronically supplied services. 

Adding your VAT or Tax Identification (ID) Number

In certain countries, you may not be charged VAT on Airbnb service fees if you are registered for VAT or your stay is for business. However, you may still need to self-assess the VAT and report and declare the transaction in your VAT return depending on your local VAT laws.

To let us know you are registered for VAT, add VAT or Tax ID to your account in Taxes. Find out more about detailed VAT ID format information.

VAT is charged on the guest service fee for a reservation. If you change your reservation, VAT adjusts to reflect any change in the service fee.

Hosts

VAT is charged on the Host service fee for a reservation. If a reservation is changed, VAT adjusts to reflect any change in the service fee.

Depending on your country of residence or location of your listing, you may need to assess VAT (or other taxes such as occupancy taxes) on the accommodation and/or experience services you provide to guests. Learn more about how taxes work for Hosts.

We encourage you to consult your tax advisor if you need assistance assessing VAT on the services you provide.
