booking websites over occupancy taxes are now left with a hefty litigation bill.
WASHINGTON (CN) The Supreme Court affirmed a more that $2 million court costs bill Thursday against municipalities that had accused Hotels.com and other travel booking agencies of shortchanging them on occupancy taxes.
San Antonio and more than 170 other Texas municipalities opened the lawsuit in 2006, saying their revenues were suffering because the likes of Hotels.com, Expedia and Priceline had been paying hotel-occupancy taxes based on wholesale rates that they struck with operators, rather than the full freight that end consumers paid.
Three years later, that lawsuit resulted in a $20.5 million jury verdict for the municipalities. By the time the final judgment was entered in 2016, additional penalties and interest brought the total award to $84.1 million.
