However, neither Airbnb nor Vrbo currently collect taxes on behalf of their hosts in New York City. When hosts do not have lodging taxes collected on their behalf, they are responsible for tax compliance — including registration, collection, and filing — with the city and state. MyLodgeTax can help New York vacation rental hosts automate and simplify lodging tax compliance. For more on short-term rental taxes in New York State, see our Vacation Rental Tax Guide.
