HomeAway Atlanta Summit
Another great HomeAway Summit in Atlanta this last
weekend. It was nice to meet many new people, connect with old friends
and learn the latest from the HomeAway team about new product features and
marketing efforts. A special thanks to so many of our customers that
stopped by our booth to say hello.
A couple of new developments this year. A new member of
our team, Amber, attended for the first time. Thank you Amber, you were
great! This was our first conference under the Avalara flag, the Avalara freebies at the booth were popular and generated lots of questions about our
new name.
On the lodging tax front...as often happens at the Summit, we met
property owners with a wide range of issues and questions about lodging
taxes. There were owners that have been doing the taxes themselves,
owners that had no idea they had to collect and remit taxes, owners that had
been collecting tax but unsure how to pay them, questions about cleaning fees
and other tax matters. We also had a few owners that have been assessed
tens of thousands in back taxes for not compliance and taxes owed. We
hate to see this as there are so many ways we can keep owners out of trouble
and make the lodging taxes really easy.
Please! If you have questions or are not sure what to do about
lodging taxes, give us a call.
Thanks for a great conference and we will see everyone in
Denver!
