Media response - AirBNB
Published on 14 June 2023
Approach from Herald Sun
We are putting together a story about Air BNB's around the state and had a few questions about them in your council area. We would like to know if:
- There is an extra tax on Air BNBs?
- If there is, how much is this tax? If there is not, has one been considered?
- Has the council voted on introducing an air bnb tax that did not pass?
- Are there any upcoming agenda items expected surrounding AirBNBs?
Response
Monash does not have a tax on short-stay accommodation properties, nor are there any plans at this point to introduce one.
