Providence, RI – April 3, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — The Office of Revenue Analysis released its report on the state 5% hotel tax. The report looks at the collection and disbursement of the state’s 5% hotel tax which is levied on the rental of lodging for less than 30 consecutive days at the state’s hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts.
The report displays the data on the collection and disbursement of the tax on a year-over-year basis, by month, as well as a fiscal year-to-date over fiscal-year-to date basis.
The hotel tax is collected by the Division of Taxation and then disbursed by a formula to state general revenues, local municipalities, eight regional tourism bureaus, the RI Convention Center Authority and the Providence Warwick Convention Visitors Bureau.
This report is a complement to the Local 1% Hotel Tax Report issued by ORA each month.
