    A Booking Agent license is required in addition to a Sale, Use, and Hotel Occupancy tax license. Booking Agents are required to be registered for two licenses to collect Hotel Occupancy Tax.

    1. If the Booking Agent does not already have a separate Sales, Use, and Hotel Occupancy tax license, it should obtain one using the Pennsylvania Online Business Tax Registration process through myPATH. The Booking Agent will need to obtain a Sales, Use, and Hotel Occupancy tax license before registering for a Booking Agent license.
    2. Upon receiving the Sales, Use, and Hotel Occupancy tax license, the next step is to register for the booking agent license. Complete the Hotel Booking Agent Registration Form (REV-1840) to acquire the booking agent license. Upon completion of the registration form, email the form to ra-btftregisfax@pa.gov​ or fax to 717-787-3708.
