Tax Rates
Food and Beverage / Lodging Tax Rates are as follows:
- Food ad Beverage Tax: 6%
- Lodging Tax: 8%
For collecting and remitting the meals tax to the City of Hopewell, the rate is 6% on a dollar.
Reporting Taxes
Taxes must be reported and submitted by the 20th of the month following month of collection. A penalty of 10% or $10 whichever is greater, as long as the penalty does not exceed the tax, plus 10% interest per annum is imposed if not paid by the due date.
Changes in Taxing
Please note that in the past, Hopewell only taxed non-sealed beverages if they were sold as part of a meal. Now, any non-factory sealed beverage (including alcohol) sold singly or as part of a meal is subject to meals tax.
