Designated accommodation area tax expiry extended by five years for one listed area

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

The expiry date for the designated accommodation area tax applying to item 21 in Schedule 2 of the Designated Accommodation Area Tax Regulation has been pushed back five years. The area in question will now remain subject to the designated accommodation area tax for an additional five years beyond the previous cutoff. Operators of short-term accommodations (such as hotels, motels, and vacation rentals) in that specific designated area should be aware that their obligation to collect and remit this tax continues for longer than previously scheduled. No other designated areas or tax rates are changed by this amendment.
