The purpose of this Letter to Council (LTC) is to transmit to you the Monthly Tourism Resort Tax
Revenue Report from the Bal Harbour Tourism Department to provide you with an update on Resort
Tax Collections in the Village.
The attached report reflects all resort tax revenue collected from the Lodging (4%) and Food &
Beverage (2%) entities by the Village throughout the month of April 2021 as well as FY 2020-2021
YTD from a report generated directly from our financial management system. The report compares
results to previous years and includes FY 2020-2021 Monthly Budget, Results and Variances.
As discussed during the Budget Review, the impact of COVID-19 was considered in the
development of the FY 2020-21 Budget. Discussions were held with all four General Managers of
our partner hotels who provided their guidance for expected Resort Tax Revenues based on their
actual budgeting for 2021. For Restaurants, FY 2019-20 revenues were calculated based upon
results from FY 2018-2019: 50% for Quarter (Q) Q1 (October 01 -December 31), 60% for Q2 (January
01 -March 31), 75% for Q3 (April 01 -June 30) and 90% for Q4 (July 01 -September 30).
