So, the bottom line seems to be that the person actually staying in the timeshare unit pays any special taxes. Since these are subject to change, the owner may not even know what they currently are and there is no way that said owner can pre-pay them for the renter. One often has the same extra costs in hotels these days--for electricity even! Blows my mind. MD
If the current owner doesn't know, then let me suggest an easy solution: simply call the resort and ask the reservations clerk for the amount - they will know! Then inform the guest that they will be required to pay the tax by the resort upon check-out and (1) reduce your rental rate accordingly, or (2) have them bring back the receipt to you and you re-imburse them for the tax they paid.
