Tax Bulletin 28-94

Issue Date:  July 1, 1994

Re: Clarification of Sales Tax on Admissions and User Fees

The purpose of this Tax Bulletin is to provide additional guidance to river runners and outfitters now required to collect Utah sales tax pursuant to Senate Bill 191. This Tax Bulletin supplements Tax Bulletin 15-94.

River runners and outfitters that contract with tour promoters are responsible for collecting sales tax from the tour promoters on all charges incurred by the tour promoter for taxable recreational services provided in Utah.

If the preponderance of a recreational activity takes place outside of Utah, admissions and user fees charged for that activity are not subject to Utah sales tax.
If you need additional copies of Tax Bulletin 15-94, please contact Janice J. Perry, (801) 297-3910, or call her using the toll-free number, 1-800-662-4335.
