So the simmering battle between the OTAs and the States and other jurisdictions on Taxes just went up a notch.

The State of Florida has now formally filed suit against two specific OTAs - Expedia (who is licensed in Florida) and Orbitz (Both LLC and Inc) which are described as foreign corporations in the suit.

Go here to down load the entire filing. (Courtesy of STR).

This is going to be watched and watched. And then this one could even end up on the high court.

Patience by the States seems to be exhausted. I have a feeling this one is just another battle in a very long war.

Cheers
