• For stays of 90 nights or more but fewer than 180 nights, only city occupancy taxes apply. The applicable tax includes 10.75% of the rental amount, plus a $2.00 per night city occupancy tax.
• For stays of 180 nights or more, no short-term occupancy taxes apply. These longer-term stays are considered tax-exempt under local New York regulations.

____________________________________________________________________

Please note: Date changes made before or during the stay (including extensions or reductions) will trigger a recalculation of applicable taxes based on the updated length of stay and corresponding tax tier. Taxes will be adjusted according to local tax laws and internal policies. When a stay crosses tax thresholds, refunds resulting from threshold changes will be issued only after the guest completes the required number of nights in the unit for that threshold.

In all cases, tax obligations will be recalculated based on the actual length of stay, and guests agree to pay any resulting difference in taxes as outlined above.

Tax Adjustments and Refunds

When date changes result in a different tax calculation, the following process applies:Tax Reduction Scenarios:

• Immediate adjustment: If your stay is extended or modified to qualify for a lower tax tier or tax-exempt status, taxes will stop being charged at the higher rate starting in the next billing cycle following the update.
• Credit application: Any tax overpayments from previous billing cycles will be applied as a credit to your account after you have completed the required number of nights to qualify for the lower tax tier or tax-exempt status. Please note that all refunds will be reviewed and confirmed by our team, and a manual refund will be issued when applicable.

For New York stays extended to 180+ nights (tax-exempt status) or New Jersey stays extended to 90+ nights (tax-exempt status), the same process applies: taxes stop being charged in the next billing cycle after the modification, and refunds for previously paid taxes are issued after the applicable threshold is reached.

Extension Cancellation: If you extend your stay to reach a lower tax tier or a tax-exempt status and subsequently cancel that extension, any taxes that are now due based on your revised length of stay will be charged immediately upon confirming the extension cancellation.
