This is what you as AirBnB host need to know about the tourist tax in Prague 1, called “Místní poplatek za lázeňský nebo rekreační pobyt”. This tax is different in each city district, you need to fill a different form and file it in a different place.
Somewhere below you’ll find my personal opinion on the topic if you are interested.
