Hotel Rewards Points Programs

PURPOSE:

Rule 12A-1.0615, F.A.C. (Hotel Reward Points Programs), is being created to provide guidelines regarding the application of Florida tax in situations involving hotel reward points programs within the transient rentals industry that reflect the findings of Report Number 2005-131, “Application of the Tourist Development Tax to the Sale of Discounted Hotel Rooms Over the Internet and the Hotel Rewards Points Program,” issued by the Senate Committee on Government Efficiency Appropriations. This rule sets forth when transient lodging accommodations provided to reward points programs members will be subjected to Florida’s taxes on those accommodations. This rule also sets forth when transactions between the administrator of a hotel reward points program and the hotel participating in the program are subject to tax.

SUBJECT:

The subject area addressed is the application of state sales tax, local surtax, and any locally-imposed convention development tax, tourist development tax, tourist impact tax, or municipal resort tax on transient accommodations provided to members of a hotel reward points program.
