Tax Audit Crackdown on Airbnb hosts

12,000 letters issued by Revenue last year, advised taxpayers to include Airbnb income in their tax returns. As we highlighted previously, if you are in receipt of rental income through the Airbnb website, your rental income will be subject to 20% or 40% tax depending on your circumstances.
