We are a non-profit agency or are tax exempt, how do we get our taxes exempted?
TAX EXEMPTION: All guests who are tax exempt will need to bring their own New York City and New York state tax exemption forms to the hotel fully signed. These forms may also be faxed directly to the Front Office at 212-827-4227 with the confirmation number and name of the guest.
In addition to providing the tax exemption documents, the tax exempt organization must pay for the stay in order for it to be tax exempt. This can either be prepaid with the organization’s credit card (credit card authorization form) or a check can be sent from the organization at least 10 days prior to check-in.
If the stay is not prepaid, and guest claims tax exemption at check-in, they need to present the tax exemption documents and the exempt organization’s credit card that belongs to the guest on arrival.
If the guest paid on their own without a tax exempt form or pre-payment on arrival, then the guests have a 90 day window after check-out to present proof of tax exemption and payment from the organization (credit card authorization form). Once we receive it and the payment is applied, we will refund the guest’s charge in full.
