For any other applicable taxes not mentioned as collected by misterb&b below, you remain fully responsible for collection and/or report, and payment.

 

State of Victoria

misterb&b registered with the State of Victoria to collect and remit on your behalf the following tax:

  • Short Stay Levy Tax. 7.5% of the total booking account (without including the misterb&b service fees). It applies on any continuous period of less than 28 days. However, this levy will not apply to bookings for an accommodation for which the Host provides misterb&b with a valid exemption form - more details about "declaration that premises are not short stay accommodation" on this official page. You can download the form, and upload it once completed, from the "Local requirements" page. For more information about the short stay levy, visit this page of the official State Revenue Office of Victoria website.
