To date, the WTTC Taxation Policy Task Force has studied three
issues. The first issue involves the proposed expansion of
a county-level accommodations tax in Michigan. This issue
was selected because it centered around a question often asked
by municipal policymakers: Do tourists pay their fair share of
taxes?
The second issue focuses on proposed legislation in the U.S.
Congress that would grant tax credits for pleasure travel in an
effort to stimulate the two industries significantly affected by
the events of September 11-- transportation and travel.
The third issue examines the current value added tax (VAT)
system in the European Union, especially in regards to the hotel
and accommodation industry. As the EU moves towards
establishing a "definitive" VAT regime
