METHODOLOGY:

This bill clarifies the application of the tax on meals and rooms for the rental of cabins owned by Dartmouth College in the Second Dartmouth College Grant and operated by Dartmouth College, the Dartmouth outing club, or the Office of Outdoor programs.  The Department of Revenue Administration is not aware of any exemption to RSA 78-A (meals and rooms tax) for the rental of these cabins and assumes the operator has collected the meals and rooms taxes and paid them over to the State as provided in RSA 78-A.  If this is occurring there would be no impact on State General Fund revenue.  To the extent the operator is not collecting and remitting all meals and rooms taxes as provided in RSA 78-A, there may be an indeterminable increase in State General Fund revenue.
