San Antonio Sues Online Agencies Over Hotel Taxes
San Antonio filed a federal suit against 16 online hotel booking agencies including Expedia Travelocity Orbitz and Hotels com for unremitted occupancy taxes. City Attorney Michael Bernard said the agencies taxed wholesale rates instead of consumer retail rates, shorting the city about 10 million dollars since 1999. He blamed the practice for tax dollars not remitted to the city. The 16.75 percent hotel tax comprises 6 percent state 1.75 percent county and 9 percent local.
