BUS-41 - Online Marketplaces are not Property Management Companies

Online companies (or internet-based platforms) through which property owners and property management companies provide short-term rentals of property are not considered property management companies for business tax purposes. Accordingly, they are not subject to business tax on the rentals of the properties. Instead, the owners of the properties or the property management companies must pay business tax on the rentals. For business tax purposes, a property management company is defined as an entity that, for a consideration, manages vacation lodgings for individual property owners who provide the lodgings for consumers for a fee.
