Airbnb rental costs are itemized. There are charges set by hosts, such as the nightly rate and cleaning fees, and the charge set by Airbnb, which is called a guest or service fee. Airbnb collects and pays taxes on the former — the nightly rental charge — but not on the guest fee. And that has been getting it in trouble with state and local governments here.
