House Bill 1656, 1993 Regular Session
A 2% tax is imposed on the gross proceeds (excluding charges for telephone, laundry and similar service charges) of hotels and motels from room rentals in Tishomingo County. The levy does not apply to gross proceeds from non-taxable rooms, room rentals for day meetings where the room does not serve as overnight sleeping accommodations, or room rentals to residential guests of a hotel or motel. This levy is in addition to all other taxes imposed. Effective July 1, 1993. No repeal date.
“Hotel” and “motel” means any establishment engaged in the business of furnishing or providing rooms intended or designed for lodging or sleeping purposes for transient guests, which establishment consists of 5 or more guest rooms and does not include any hospital, convalescent or nursing home, or sanitarium, or any hotel-like facility operated by or in connection with a hospital or medical clinic providing rooms exclusively for patients and their families.
