林伍德拟新设12%酒店税 预计年增75.1万美元

林伍德市选票上的L提案拟新设税率为12%的酒店与汽车旅馆税,预计每年可增加约75.1万美元收入,相关收入将用于预防犯罪、打击人口贩运与道路维修。市府表示,林伍德市此前没有酒店税,这项新税将由住客承担,而不是由本地居民承担。L提案是否通过,将由林伍德市选民在选举中决定。
Lynwood's Measure L Proposes New 12% Hotel Tax Projected at $751,000 a Year
Lynwood's Measure L on the ballot would create a brand-new 12% tax on hotel and motel stays, projected to raise about $751,000 a year for crime prevention, anti-human-trafficking programs and street repairs. The city previously had no hotel tax, and the new tax would be paid by guests rather than local residents. Whether the measure passes is up to Lynwood voters in the election.
