The new release states that all surcharges will be taxed and that rent taxability should be based on pricing preferences instead. However, there is no way to modify surcharges in the pricing preferences to not include taxes. This isn't fair as not all surcharges should be taxed.

For example, the cleaning fee we charge is not money I am making. I charge exactly what my cleaner charges and simply pass the money along to her. It is then her responsibility to pay a tax on the income she made. As it is now, I am actually losing money on the cleaning fee because the taxes in my state reduce that cleaning fee by 13%. I cannot simply increase my cleaning fee by 13% b/c then my customers will just be paying MORE taxes on THAT (and percentages don't work that way as we all learned from the recent Airbnb increase-- I would have to increase the cleaning fee by 15% to actually get the right amount).

I don't claim the cleaning fee as revenue on my taxes therefore should not pay a tax for it.
