Sales and Use Tax and Occupancy Tax: Do we pay both?
I've gotten my first quarterly "pay your local and state taxes" statement for our Sales and Use # that we established for our Airbnb business. Occupancy taxes for Texas (6%) are already collected by Airbnb on our behalf. However, should I be paying the 8.25% Texas Sales and Use tax on top of that as a vacation rental owner?
Thanks!

My CPA said she found nothing saying we need to pay both sales tax and occupancy tax here in Texas.
Here is a Get Paid for Your Pad podcast about taxes: https://getpaidforyourpad.com/podcast/airbnb-taxes-in-2019-explained-ep272/
I'm listening to this episode right now.
Of course, an email to your specific CPA would also be recommended. Please share if you find out additional info!
