Grand Islandâs occupation tax revenue was not hit as badly as expected despite seven months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The cityâs Food and Beverage Occupation Oversight Tax Committee on Thursday reviewed the total tax revenue for the cityâs fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30.
âWeâre really fortunate, if we look at our revenues, that we havenât been nailed that hard,â committee member Karl Kostbahn said. âI was surprised at how little decrease there was between the two fiscal years, with a big chunk of 2020 being under the pandemic.â
Grand Island imposes a 1.5% occupation tax on all prepared food and beverages.
