In order to simplify the processing of city tax payments, the Canton of Basel-Stadt, represented by the Office for Economy and Labour (AWA), has agreed with the European headquarters of Airbnb that from 1 September 2018 the city tax will be accounted for directly by Airbnb. This means that Airbnb will take care of collection and forwarding of the city tax to the cantonal authority for you. Airbnb has sent you detailed information about this directly.
