City files suit against online hotel bookers

2008-06-04

city of Houston wants more tax money from online hotel booking services. A lawsuit the city is waging mirrors a city of San Antonio case that won approval for class-action status. Hotels in Houston must remit to the city the hotel-occupancy tax of 7 percent, based on the price at which they sell rooms.

Houston's civil suit, filed in March 2007, could mean millions of dollars for the city in unpaid taxes, lawyers involved in the case said.The companies argue they do not control occupancy and only provide a service for consumers and should not have to pay the difference.
