Online Hotel Booking Tax (Hotel Occupancy tax)



Proposed federal legislation called the "Internet Travel Tax Fairness Act" (ITTFA) would prevent state and local governments from collecting room taxes from online third party intermediaries (TPI) when hotel rooms are booked through such companies. If enacted, such legislation would place hotel companies at a competitive disadvantage with respect to marketing their own rooms. There is a good article about recent legal actions against OTAs

Contact your Senators and Representatives about this issue and let them know you oppose this unfair legislation
