THE BUREAU of Internal Revenue (BIR) has started to monitor the tax compliance of online leasing platforms such as Airbnb, top officials said.
“We are checking and validating Airbnb tax payments and compliance,” BIR Deputy Commissioner Arnel SD. Guballa told
BusinessWorld in a Viber message on Thursday, without disclosing further details.
House Ways and Means Chair and Albay Rep. Jose Maria Clemente S. Salceda said the BIR is already imposing taxes on online leasing platforms but “had difficulties with enforcing the regulations.”
“Airbnb itself said in 2019 that they want to contribute revenues. I’ll keep working with the BIR to find a satisfactory way to enforce the law on them,” Mr. Salceda, who also authored a bill on digital taxes, said on Thursday.
