Bill > H4233

This bill clarifies how the occupancy excise, a tax on hotel rooms, is calculated, particularly for online resellers who book rooms. It amends existing law to ensure that the excise tax is applied to the total amount the occupant is charged for rent, even if some fees are bundled and not itemized separately. However, it also specifies that if certain fees or charges are clearly listed separately from the rent, they will not be subject to the occupancy excise. This aims to prevent confusion and ensure consistent tax collection on hotel room rentals, regardless of how they are booked or presented to the customer.
