25. OCCUPANCY TAX LIABILITY REVERSAL

 

Sales and occupancy tax expenses decreased approximately $1,642,000, to approximately ($798,000) for the twelve months ended January 31, 2022 from approximately $844,000 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2021. This represents a reversal of liability arising from an occupancy tax discrepancy generated from our Tucson Oracle and Albuquerque hotels from prior periods, as the liabilities had been assumed by a related party. These additional amounts were due for Hotel sales and occupancy expenses owed by hotel guests that were erroneously not collected at the time of stay, nor remitted to the respective states accordingly, and are not expected to be recurring, since the Trust collects and remits all necessary occupancy taxes to the state monthly. The related party was responsible for these liabilities initially and they were never owed by either Hotel property.

 

No additional assessments have transpired since September 2020. Management has assessed the materiality of the discrepancy on prior reported periods and has concluded it is qualitatively immaterial to the readers of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
