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.
SB 1105 amends Pennsylvania's hotel tax rules for third through eighth class counties, requiring hotels and booking agents to report detailed transaction data to counties. The bill mandates monthly or quarterly reporting of specific information, including hotel names, fees collected (like accommodation fees and taxes), guest details, and payment amounts. Counties may impose penalties up to $250 per day for late or incomplete reporting. This directly affects hotels and booking agents operating in smaller Pennsylvania counties by adding new administrative requirements for tax compliance.

MODERATE
The bill was reprinted with a new number (PN 1694) after being amended, updating the header and page numbers. Substantively, the text includes new sections requiring booking agents to disclose hotel addresses and clarifying that operators are not liable for taxes on accommodation fees, while also updating definitions to explicitly include cabins and homestays.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on hotel room rental taxes in third through eighth class counties, but the applicability to booking agents was expanded with new disclosure requirements, and the definition of taxable accommodations was broadened to include cabins and homestays.
REQUIREMENT
Added a requirement for booking agents to disclose the address of each hotel in the county for which they collected rent.
DEFINITION
Added specific definitions for 'cabin' and 'homestead' to clarify which accommodations are subject to the tax.
ENFORCEMENT
Added a provision stating that operators are not liable for taxes owed on accommodation fees, shifting liability away from the hotel owner for this specific charge.
TECHNICAL
Updated the bill header and page numbers to reflect the new printer's number (1694) and the amendment date of May 6, 2026.
