12/20/02 – Finally! We’ve got some new statewide lodging sector sales tax data to report. Sales tax collections increased in each of the months of July, August and September of this year, continuing an increasing trend line, which began after the year’s lowest level in April. On a positive note, September’s collections represent the first month this year that sales tax collections exceeded those reported in the same month of the prior year.
It may be explanatory to note that this chart illustrates the sales taxes that lodging establishments charge for sales of items other than room nights.
11/26/02 – Nothing additional to report. We apologize for this delay of information.
10/26/02 – Nothing additional to report. Receipt of data from Treasury is pending.
09/27/02 – Nothing additional to report.
09/05/02 – Sales tax collections were only slightly lower in April and May 2002 than in recent previous years. However, they were significantly lower in June 2002 than in any other recent Junes. This may be reflective of the downturn in business travel that the hospitality industry has been facing as a result of the weakened national and state economies.
07/29/02 – Nothing additional to report.
06/28/02 – Statewide hotel and motel sales tax collections have continued to be lower in February and March 2002 than during the same months in the previous two years.
05/23/02 – In the latest month for which data are available, January 2002, it appears that the sales tax collected by the state's lodging establishments, was slightly lower than during the same month in the past two years.
04/17/02 – Hotels and motels in Michigan charge sales tax on products such as store merchandise and food and beverage service. Overall, there is not much change in the monthly levels of sales tax collection reported by the Michigan Department of Treasury between 2000 and 2001. Unfortunately, we have little explanation for the spike reported in September 2000.
