How Congress Could Save Hoteliers from Massive Tax Hikes — A Conversation with AHLA’s Chirag Shah
📍More Taxes?? During Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’s global conference in #LasVegas, I asked Chirag Shah, SVP of Federal & Political Affairs & Council at the American Hotel & Lodging Association, to break down what’s happening in Washington for hashtag#NoVacancyNews — and how it could hit hotel owners right where it hurts: their wallets.
🧾 Here’s what’s covered:
Why a proposed “one big, beautiful bill” could be a lifeline for hotel owners
How preserving 2017 tax provisions like bonus depreciation and like-kind
exchanges could prevent massive new expenses
What AHLA is doing to protect small businesses, including a push to increase the small business deduction
What hoteliers can do right now to fight back — it takes just 30 seconds at hotels.org
💬 “They don’t need another burden. Insurance rates are up. Costs are up. This is the worst time to raise taxes on hotel owners.” – Glenn Haussman
