Understanding how taxes apply to your bookings is an important part of hosting. This article explains the taxes that are charged to hosts, as well as how registered businesses can collect their own sales tax.
When taxes apply
Sales tax applies based on federal, provincial, state, and local tax rules. These rules depend on your location and the tax laws in the region where your RV is listed. RVezy follows all applicable tax laws and will apply the relevant tax rate to your service fee, which will then be deducted from your rental payout.
Taxes in Canada
Taxes on RVezy's service fee
On each of your rentals, RVezy applies taxes to your service fee based on the province where your RV is located. In British Columbia and Quebec, both the federal and provincial tax are applied. In all other Canadian provinces and territories, only the federal tax applies.
Collecting sales taxes as a registered business
If you are registered as a business, you have the option to collect your own sales taxes from guests. This amount is not subject to RVezy's service fee or tax, and the entire amount will be transferred to you as part of your payout for the rental under the line item "Sales Taxes Collected".
This option is available in the Pricing section of your listing, at the bottom of the page. Once toggled on, you'll be able to enter your tax account number(s). Depending on your province, you may be able to enter only one number (for example, HST in Ontario) or two numbers (for example, GST and PST in Manitoba).
Saskatchewan
For hosts located in Saskatchewan, recent changes in provincial tax regulations mean that RVezy now handles the collection and remittance of provincial sales tax (PST) directly. This adjustment removes the burden from hosts to register separate business accounts for these taxes. RVezy remits these taxes using its registered identification number:
- Saskatchewan PST: 7659196
Hosts in Saskatchewan can still collect the federal GST on their rentals.
Other Canadian provinces/territories
Hosts residing in other Canadian provinces and territories maintain the ability to collect both provincial and federal taxes, provided they have a registered tax account. Importantly, the collected sales tax amount is excluded from RVezy’s service fees, ensuring hosts receive the full amount alongside their rental payouts.
