INTRODUCTION
CiiRUS is directly integrated to Airbnb, and proud to be a preferred partner!
It must firstly be advised that this connection requires certain assumptions be made by the property manager in regards to booking financials. Airbnb is unique from other channels in that they remit taxes in certain regions where they are required to do so. In the event that a tax figure is not remitted by Airbnb, it is not included by Airbnb in the amount charged to the guest.
The burden of tax is always the responsibility of the agent placed in charge of managing the rental (whether homeowner, or manager). This user will be able to run reports in CiiRUS that will display the tax amount remitted by Airbnb on a per-reservation basis. Further tools and reports are also available to display the amount of tax not remitted by Airbnb, for which the previously mentioned agent assumes responsibility.
The user should carefully check every reservation to ensure that the proper taxes have been applied.
Airbnb has kindly provided additional information regarding their tax remittance regions at the below link, for your convenience:

When the reservation is confirmed, Airbnb will send reservation and guest details directly to CiiRUS, updating unit availability and logging financial details.
When Airbnb disburses payment, a notification of payment is sent to the property manager or agent. Should a change (or cancellation) occur to the guest details or dates booked via Airbnb, the reservation will be automatically updated in the booking in CiiRUS.
