An Act amending Title 16 (Counties) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in hotel tax, further providing for hotel room rental tax in third through eighth class counties and for hotel room rental tax in second class and second class A counties and providing for uniform hotel tax report and forms.
HB 2083 updates Pennsylvania's hotel tax rules for third through eighth class counties, requiring hotels and booking agents to submit monthly reports detailing room rates, discounts, and taxes collected. It mandates that counties keep these records confidential (exempt from public disclosure under the Right-to-Know Law) and allows counties to impose penalties up to $250 per day for non-compliance, with fines funding tax administration. The bill also directs the state to create uniform tax reporting forms for counties, developed with input from county associations and state agencies. This standardizes reporting while clarifying county authority over hotel tax collection.
