They want to take so much more https://www.stripes.com/news/civili...ered-taxable-income-after-law-change-1.525359This is just as dumb as taxing the military wages......gota get a cut of that money.
The question obviously wasn't directed at you. Please move on.
Complete BS.....now don't get me wrong when i say this but i think there are way to many government employees already but sticking them with a Bill when they are required to move is just plain shitty.They want to take so much more https://www.stripes.com/news/civili...ered-taxable-income-after-law-change-1.525359
It is.
What we have here is a clear-cut case of crony corporatism.
...the same kind of statism that fosters the rise of socialism or communism. "May the best government donors win."
tax the shit out of them.... the ones who are subletting more than a dozen units
The article obviously wasn't directed at you. Please move on.
Can we just call it corporate-communism for the sake of brevity.
Hotel taxes are pretty bullshit (especially if you've ever visited Arizona, wow do they love taxing visitors); but if your AirBNB operates like a hotel, it should pay hotel taxes.
Quality renters are scarce because they've moved onto buying homes.
I disagree. In most big cities , home prices are so high, most people are forced to rent. Homes are up close to 300% in some markets over the past decade.
I believe rental scarcity has to do with recouping original development/purchasing costs the fastest way possible. Having difficulties selling a new high rise building out? No problem, airbnb the entire thing and make a killing on it. They have been doing this for a few years now, with no sort of oversight. Airbnb, can't have their cake and eat it too. You want to be like a hotel, you should deal with the same regulations.
It isn't.This article is HardOCP material how?
It isn't.
This is just another political opinion thread that Kyle hopes will get more engagement. That is how websites work. Post sensationalist material and get more clicks/engagement.
Anyway, AirBNB and Uber getting some regulation is fine with me. Don't like it? Then don't use/provide it. It is pretty simple.
Until companies like Airbnb and Homeaway became an option, hotel chains didn't have any real competition
The government just protects who ever pays them off.
But that's where you fail to understand what Airbnb and HomeAway are. They aren't hotel chains. They dont own or rent vacation homes (to my knowledge). Their websites are nothing more than a web portal for property owners and users to communicate with each other and/or conduct business. Their business models are similar to any SAP (i.e. Ariba). As such, they charge a fee and take a small portion of the profits for each and every transaction. Airbnb and HomeAway both pay their business taxes, like any other company. The owner of the property pays business taxes and any applicapable taxes that are required by state, federal, county or city. Asking them to pay a hotel tax would be like asking Ariba to pay an additional sales tax on the items their customers sell through their SAP. It'd be like asking eBay to pay sales tax on items sold by their users. It's neither Airbnb's nor Homeaway's responsibility to pay this tax because it is paid by the property owners, like myself. The reason Airbnb and HomeAway are so huge is because millions of people use them. Ariba and eBay are pretty huge too...
big IF AirBnB audits their listing regularly to ensure local tax laws are followed else the threat of delisting.

We do pay taxes! I pay city taxes, county taxes, transit taxes and a ~30% tax on every penny I "make" off of our vacation rentals. I probably pay more taxes, percentage wise, than the average person. Furthermore, I have to depreciate the structure's value and pay an appreciation tax when or if I decide to sell the property. Last year, one of our properties lost ~$15K due to required maintenance and renovations. This year, I'll be lucky to break even. So, yeah, taxes suck, but "honest" Airbnb businesses pay their fair share of taxes IMHO....
Funny this place, feds go after Amazon for them to collect taxes and people lose their shit, how dare the government take my money, interstate commerce, yadda yadda, AirBnB may not collect occupancy tax (apparently they do according to OregonLAN) and these fuckers arent paying their fair share!!
