Vrbo offers three different options to help you manage your property’s lodging taxes. Tax jurisdictions may require you to collect and pay some lodging taxes while requiring us to collect and remit others. No matter which option you choose, we will always collect and remit the taxes where we are required.

Tax collection options
No tax collection
If you choose this option, there’s no change to how you collect taxes. You’ll continue to collect, file, and pay taxes that you’re responsible for to local tax authorities outside of our platform.
Collect my taxes and send them to me
If you choose this option, we automatically collect taxes from travelers. Taxes will be sent to your bank account (at no extra cost) with your regular booking payout. You’re responsible for filing and paying taxes to your local tax authority.
You can find this option for each of your property listings under the Taxes tab of your Rate settings page. Based on the requirements of your property’s jurisdiction, you might be asked to provide some of the following information:
- Taxpayer identification number
- Business license number
- Certificate of authority number
- Tax registration number
If your jurisdiction doesn’t require registration or issue identification numbers, you can enter the property address.
