Self-Reviews – Vacation Rental Properties

The Auditing Division of the Utah State Tax Commission is currently conducting a self-review of vacation rental properties. A self-review consists of selected businesses or individuals reviewing their own books and records for a potential sales and use tax or transient room tax liability.

Sales and use tax references may be found in Title 59 Chapter 12 of the Utah Code, Administrative Rules R865-19S-79, R865-19S-96, and R865-21U-6, and Publication 56.
