Re: Who pays taxes at check-in?

[Q=jayjay] After having owned 9 timeshare weeks and performed 25+ exchanges throughout the last several years, I have never heard of anyone paying any sort of taxes at check-in.[/Q] Well, welcome to the world of exchanges - try Hawaii - the legislature passed many years ago a transient occupancy tax that whoever stays in the unit pays, even if it's the owner who is also paying the property taxes on the unit! This item shows up on your check-out bill (not check-in) because it is calculated on a daily basis and at check-in there is no way of knowing for sure how long the unit will be occupied.
