Most people who rent, charge the amount they want and then add the 9% state tax for the renters to pay. Course it makes more for the renters to pay so possibly harder to rent....
I read a bit more closely and you would have to post your rooms and meals license number, which implies that people actually have a license number. Is this really something that people are supposed to have if they are only renting it out for a week or two during the summer? The rules here seem to be geared more towards a true business.
