Serving Elkins, Beverly, Mill Creek, and All of Randolph County, WV

January 2022 Update

Hotel Occupancy Tax

Beginning January 1, 2022 (per ARTICLE 18. HOTEL OCCUPANCY TAX (SB270) in WV Code), marketplace facilitators are responsible for collecting, remitting, and reporting hotel occupancy taxes.

It is our understanding that, in most cases, marketplace facilitators will be remitting taxes to us in bulk and under their own legal name. Hence, it will still be necessary for each hotel owner/operator to send us a monthly return demonstrating that all taxes owed have been remitted.

Instructions

Beginning with the return for month ending January 31, 2022 (due on or before February 15, 2022):

LINE 1

Continue to include ALL gross receipts on LINE 1.

LINE 3 Other Exemptions

For ALL marketplace facilitator platforms used for rentals during the specified period:

Include ALL gross receipts.

For EACH marketplace facilitator utilized during the specified period:

Provide a breakdown designating legal name and gross receipts for each, as well.

LINE 6 TAXES DUE

After completing computations for lines 4, 5 and 6, line 6 will indicate taxes due for non-exempt (off-marketplace facilitator platform) rentals.
