  1. Complete and utter robbery, as usual. Dressed up in non-sensical language about the mix of public and private sector ‘coming together’.

    Ultimately, the ‘people’ sector foot the bill. The tax as per AirBnB is 13%, not 3% (at least from all of the actual rental properties I’m looking at). Coupled with a cleaning fee and a 10% AirBnB service charge, looks like its no longer a viable option anymore. A $1,100 property reduced to $700 for monthly rents will jump back up to $950 when all the theft is accounted for.

    How many times can a person pay tax? Income Tax, Accommodation Tax, Flight Tax, Road Tax, and VAT on pretty much everything, including the Accommodation? Meanwhile, the government decides to shut down small businesses to combat the flu. How does this theft continue unabated?
