You should always be subject to taxes and fees on whatever the room cost would have been had you not used points
No D1
I feel like it might vary from country to country. Here in the US, points stays have never incurred taxes unless it was for a mandatory resort fee. I remember having to pay in addition to points in a few places where I was forced to pay an upcharge for 2 beds instead of a king. Not sure if the taxes would have been incurred regardless. Guess it is safe to say it depends.
I stayed at the St. Regis across the street in 2016 and don't remember that.. Any way enjoy the trip!
For international you do. Always happens to me
I think it’s the ways taxes are calculated. In the us if you don’t pay anything then there is not tax. I think overseas, the value add approach charges you a tax on the value of what you get regardless of actual price...
Well from non-reving on United, I can say the US does add the value of the flight to the employees income so they get taxed more based on a higher adjusted income. Perhaps it's only an aviation thing though.
UBS, that's no different than a flex trip or some other non-monetary award. Considered a taxable event by the IRS.
If I buy something with points, there is no sales tax collected... I think this is similar
How many points per night? I was looking at that one too for a trip later this year
26.75k
I booked that same hotel a few years ago and didn't have to pay taxes
