Masters Week Rentals Should be Exempt from Tax, House Committee says
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015
People who rent their homes or bedrooms for the Masters Tournament should be collecting state taxes, including a new $5 nightly tax, but properties rented fewer than 15 nights a year should be exempt, a House committee decided.
The 15-night exemption is designed to protect residents in Athens and Augusta who rent bedrooms or their homes only during the six University of Georgia home football games or during the weeklong Masters Tournament. St. Simons Island residents who offer property during the Georgia-Florida football weekend would be in the clear, too.
