Airbnb is a popular way of making some extra money. However, there are tax issues that arise.
The ATO are targeting Airbnb hosts who are not declaring their income and not paying their fair share of tax.
Airbnb income needs to be declared in your tax return. However, you can also claim a portion of your property costs to offset your tax. Examples of costs you can claim are rates, water, insurance, repairs, mortgage interest, phone and internet.
You may also be liable to pay capital gains tax when you sell your property.
