3. Be TAX wise
Restores Bed Tax (TOT) dollars

4. Dear Public Official,
Did you know that your city is losing a significant portion of its
Transient Occupancy Tax or “Bed Tax”? Cities across the country
have unsuccessfully filled suit against companies such as Expedia
to recover these Bed Tax losses.
Rezzline was founded by hotel owners to protect the interests of
guests, communities and hoteliers. Rezzline is proposing a new
and innovative approach to solving this decade old problem which
diverts bed tax dollars back into the pockets of the local
government.
How is your city losing bed tax?

5. The Good Ole Days
Guest pays hotel directly. City keeps full bed tax.

6. The “Expedia” Way
Hotel loses money. City loses money.

7. Legal Recourse Not Working
• San Antonio Off the Kuff: Still
pursuing a hotel tax lawsuit
• Los Angeles Hotel Occupancy Tax
Lawsuit Is Wrong, Says Interactive ...
• Lancaster County Court again
rejects hotel-tax lawsuit
• New Jersey Lyndhurst is suing travel
websites for its local hotel tax - New ...
• Atlanta claims online companies owe
hotel taxes | ajc.com
• Louisville Judge dismisses cities'
lawsuit over hotel taxes
City needs new solution.

8. The Rezzline Solution
Guest pays hotel. No commissions. City keeps full bed tax.
The Good Ole Days, but better.

9. The Rezzline Business Model
Search, compare, then book direct.

The hotel wins

13. Dear Civic Official,
We know that cities across the United States are facing unprecedented
fiscal challenges in today’s economic climate. However, most civic
leaders are unaware that their own cities are “bleeding” valuable
transient occupancy tax dollars.
In an effort to “band aid” this tax bleed, few political gun slingers have
attempted to address the issue by using legal means. However, without
addressing the root problem this effort has largely proved to be an
unfruitful adventure at the cost of taxpayer dollars.
We, the Rezzline team, believe the real solution lies within the online
reservations business model itself. We believe we have designed a
better model that is fair to the city, the traveler, as well as the hotel
property owner. We are seeking cooperation from the hospitality
community and civic government to make better decisions and
circumvent this problem.
How can Rezzline help your community?

14. When?

16. We look forward to hearing from you.
The Rezzline team is working to inform public officials and
hoteliers to transform online reservations channels so that
valuable tax and commission dollars are protected. Rezzline
executives will host conferences and events to educate city
officials as well as hotel owners to make sound decisions.
Please contact us for more information about online
reservations or to organize a conference or event in your city.
