Please note that this list is a summary of the taxes that have been newly added to remittance for Direct Premium users. For detailed information on each tax and the tax type, please refer to the How Taxes are Handled in Direct help article where you can select the specific state to determine how and if these taxes will apply to you.
If you have a property in these locations and the applicable tax applies to your property for Direct Premium, no action is required on your part—these taxes will be automatically retained and remitted on your behalf.
Any other applicable taxes that are not listed or previously communicated will continue to be collected as a pass-through to you. You are responsible for remitting all pass-through taxes to the appropriate jurisdiction in accordance with local regulations and compliance. Further, any tax not collected and remitted on your behalf by Hospitable prior to this date were and will continue to be your responsibility to remit as necessary to state and local jurisdictions and/or tax authorities.
What’s next:
As with our usual update, we know that tax remittance is extremely important for our Direct Premium users, and we will continue to expand our efforts in collecting and remitting taxes in more jurisdictions — with a heavier focus on local jurisdiction remittance as we progress into the new year. If you are still waiting to see your jurisdictions added, we are working diligently in the background to expand our tax remittance for Direct Premium. Our goal is to remit in as many state and local jurisdictions as possible to provide the best experience for our users.
Be sure to keep an eye out for further information related to tax remittance in your location. To keep up-to-date with all the newest changes to tax remittance, follow along in the Hospitable Community or in the How Taxes are Handled in Direct help article.
