    The silence of literally dozens of commenters desperately trying to tie this into Dinny O’Brien somehow

    revenue should ignore it, and only tax those makin a lot off hosting. they should leave people who do it to just help with the rent. theyre not profiteering from it, theyre not pulling in enough money for revenue to benefit from it. if they tax the small amount of hosts around the country, it wouldnt even keep them stocked up on post-it notes for the month. yet itll destory hosting in ireland. the positives to leavin it be are; struggling people get a small help with their rent/mortgage. tourists can have positive visits and arent restricted to hotels, which are busy all the time anyway. basically, if they tax hosts, they get eff all in revenue, but make life a little harder for a lot of people, hosts, tourists etc. but if they dont tax hosts, then theres way more money coming in. so just leave it, you number crunching enda bots.

        ‘pay your taxes’ .. its that kind of blunt response that leaves us with pointless rules that help no one. i do pay my taxes. but i dont think its right to pay 51% for hosting on air bnb. if it was 20% i probably wouldnt mind. but 51% makes it fruitless. and as a democracy its our right to debate these things and try get them changed, for the greater good. your frame of thinking doesnt fall into democracy. just blindly trumpeting ‘pay your taxes’ to any tax debate. you old bag of sh¡t.

          You don’t know what you’re talking about. For starters, how is it 51%? For most Airbnb hosts, it would be less than 10% of the gross amount. And that’s coming from an accountant who did almost 60 tax returns for Airbnb hosts in October.
