Helping Hotel Owners and Operators with Hotel Occupancy Tax Issues

Texas is home to tens of thousands of hotels. The state requires hotel operators to collect a 6 percent tax from guests and pay them over to the state. Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and other Texas municipalities levy their own local hotel taxes at various rates, up to 7 percent. Operators that fail to collect and timely report these taxes can incur serious penalties.

At Brown, PC, we have experience representing major hotel chains in tax controversies related to state and local taxes. We analyze hotel records to determine whether certain guests were exempt from the tax and to determine the true tax implications of doing business in local communities.
