HB 5048 – Allow local governments to impose and collect an excise tax on hotels

This bill amends the current act allowing counties to levy taxes on hotels. While this may provide a short term gain for local governments to pick the pockets of a business sector, in the end, it only adds additional costs of doing business, driving up prices, and reducing tourism and travel.

The bill proposes to increase the amount of the EITC. The EITC is portrayed as a tax cut for the poor. But while it does provide some tax relief for low-income families, it also provides tax handouts to those paying zero taxes. And it’s history is one of easy money for fraudulent tax filings.

Even the IRS admits over 1 in 4 EITC credits are fraudulent.
