Opinion: Dallas can collect more hotel occupancy tax by working with short-term rental platforms | Tom Leppert
Cultural organizations have seen their bottom lines take a hit over the last two years. Arts and culture organizations in Dallas are primarily funded through hotel occupancy taxes, which have fallen off sharply during the pandemic.
How can we help revive local arts groups? By reaching a voluntary collection agreement with short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. Short-term rental bookings are subject to the hotel occupancy tax, but the city’s collection process needs to be streamlined. Instead of individual mom and pop operators submitting a check each month, the more efficient approach would be for platforms to collect the tax at the point of sale and remit the total to the city each month. The agreement could include sharing more information and allowing the city to audit tax collections.
