Staycation credit details on government site only stipulate that HST must be shown as paid, not that an HST# is required from the facility booked, however I am unable to proceed with completing my return without entering an HST# (which in this case is not applicable/available).

I am certain Airbnb is a registered business, however they have advised they "do not have access" to the HST number specifically, and same with the host - I keep getting passed back & forth between the two.

Unfortunately, if you can't get the GST/HST number, then you can't claim the Staycation credit. The credit is only available on amounts where GST/HST has been paid, and the GST/HST is the proof of that.
I am trying to enter the On staycation credit.
I enter the dates , the name of the facility , the HST # and the amount. I get an error message related to the HST # telling me to round up. I cant proceed until I fix this . If i take the HST # out , it allows me to proceed , but then the credit wont be accepted as an HST # is required. I am using Standard
