The bill would create definitions for "destination management services," "qualified destination management company," and "qualified destination management services contract" under the sales tax. The bill would specify that a qualified destination management company is the consumer of taxable items sold under a qualified destination management services contract and the services provided under the contract are not considered taxable services under the sales tax. The bill would take effect immediately upon enactment, assuming that it received the requisite two-thirds majority votes in both houses of the Legislature. Otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2009. Methodology Under current policy, a destination management company, as defined by the bill, is required to collect sales and use tax on the entire amount of charges to a customer related to a destination management services contract. This bill would specify that these charges would no longer be taxable. It is assumed some firms providing similar services, but not currently characterized as a destination management company, could over time restructure to take advantage of this bill's provisions. Sales of taxable destination management services were estimated based on data gathered from Comptroller tax files. Sales were multiplied by the state tax rate; adjusted for potential effective dates of July 1, 2009 and September 1, 2009; and extrapolated through fiscal 2014. Local Government Impact There would be proportional loss of sales tax revenue to units of local government.
