Chapleau's Municipal Accommodation Tax Still Up In The Air

Chapleau's "Municipal Accommodation Tax" remains in limbo.

While it was included on the agenda for this week's Council meeting, the item wasn't seconded and was instead tabled for future discussion - that leaves its future in question, as Mayor Michael Levesque notes Council's approved the concept, but it needs a by-law to implement it.

If implemented, the tax would be a four percent surcharge for hotels, bed and breakfasts, or AirBnB-style rentals - half of the money would go to tourism, the rest to maintenance of structures that may drum up tourism.
