Tax Exemptions
Tax Exemptions !! ### ???
[Who Knows -- This May Help ... Now that we got it figured out! ]
County representatives on official business - like the ACCG Fall Policy Conference - are exempt from state sales tax, including applicable local option sales taxes, and any local occupancy taxes.
When you’re talking about an exemption to the state sales tax, remember one rule: payment must be made with county funds. Therefore, in order to claim the exemption from both the state sales tax and the occupancy tax, you’ll need to do one of the following:
Pay with a government check.
Establish direct billing for your county with the hotel in advance of your stay so that a county check will be issued to cover the costs.
Direct billing would probably be the easier course to follow; it would eliminate carrying a blank check (if you can even get one ...) or the problem of trying to determine actual charges - before you arrive! Setting up a direct bill is usually simple and many counties are already doing this. After you receive your hotel confirmation from the property, call the credit manager of the hotel; he will be able to help you establish such an account. A little advice: some hotels require a minimum number of room reservations for a direct bill and some take several days to process this request - don’t wait until the last minute to start!
To claim exemption from only the occupany tax, you’ll need to have one of these:
Georgia government identification
Travel orders or the occupancy tax exemption form
[that form right
there Φ]
Remember to always present this form at check-in!
$$$$$$$$$$
Taking advantage of
these tax exemptions isn’t
easy, but it’s probably
worth your effort. Total
taxes in Atlanta are
13% per room, per night!
“A billion here ... a billion there,
pretty soon we’re talking real
money.”

exact, it’s pretty close!]
