The home-sharing company Airbnb has agreed to put a small tourist tax on rental apartments in Paris following a request by Paris authorities.
In a statement Tuesday, Airbnb said it would collect 0.83 euros ($0.95) per person per day to be paid by lodging tourists from Oct. 1.
"The process will be fully automated and more streamlined for everyone involved, and will gradually be extended to other cities across France," Airbnb's Patrick Robinson said on the company's blog.
Paris' City Hall said that it's a move to bring Airbnb more in line with city hotels, who already pay the tax and are bearing the brunt of increased competition. Parisian hosts are already required to pay income tax.
Paris -- the most visited city in the world -- is also the most popular city in the world for home-sharing services.
Airbnb first began to collect taxes in San Francisco, California, and Portland, Oregon, according to the company.
Additional cities where the company is now subject to taxes include Amsterdam, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Chicago, Malibu, San Jose and San Diego.
