We break down the key details, including how this tax applies, what triggers it, and the 90% usage threshold that determines your property’s status. Learn practical tips for protecting yourself as a host, including record-keeping strategies and consulting tax professionals. If you’re an Airbnb host or thinking about short-term rentals, this episode is a must-listen to avoid unexpected tax surprises!
