D.C., Virginia to Battle Online Travel Sites for Tax Dollars
(Washington Examiner) — District and Virginia officials are preparing to join a national fight to force Internet-based travel sites to pay more in local hotel taxes. The D.C. Council is set to vote Tuesday on a measure that would require discount travel sites like Expedia and Travelocity to pay more in taxes to capture about $10 million a year in additional revenue. The Virginia General Assembly is expected to take up a similar measure when it convenes next month. Officials estimate that the state loses about $30 million a year in hotel tax revenues because of the online sites.
