Getting Audited by the City on TOT?

October 26, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Getting audited for taxes can be one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through. For a hotel, this involves taking time and resources away from actually running your hotel and compiling records spanning several years. While we cannot completely take away the stress, we can alleviate some of it by exposing you to professionals with experience on what to expect.

Join SDCLA for an informational webinar featuring Mitchell Bryk, a noted tax consultant specializing in hotel-related transactions. Specifically, Mitch will go over the current efforts by municipalities to collect Transient Occupancy Taxes from reservations booked through Online Travel Companies (OTCs).

He will also cover the following areas:
  •  Audit Process
  •  Applicable Contracts
  •  Legislation & Litigation
  •  OTC Terminology
  •  Rate Parity and the OTC Addendum
  •  San Diego-Specific:
     ‥  Occupancy Tax Return
     ‥  Supreme Court Case
     ‥  City Letter to Hotel

If you have not already been approached by the city, you probably already know someone who has. Wouldn’t you want to learn from their experience? This webinar is ideal for the following hotel professionals: Owners, General Managers and Finance Directors.

Register in advance for this important webinar.
