Not true. I've stayed in several places where an extra county-specific tax is imposed via AirBnB. There may be some places which haven't yet arranged for AirBnB to pay the tax, but it isn't because AirBnB refuses. In fact, it may be because hotels in that area are still holding out for the possibility of banning AirBnB. When AirBnB starts paying hotel taxes, it becomes nearly impossible to remove.

Venice, mentioned elsewhere in this thread as a problem city because of AirBnB, levies this tax against people who visit and stay in AirBnB

  This is interesting. How is it enforced and collected?

    Anecdotally when I was staying in Venice two years ago I didn't pay any kind of tax for the Airbnb unless it was worked into the price.

    Separate line item in the nightly rate. It's easy to overlook. It references the locale collecting the tax.
