A tax is imposed upon persons engaged in the business of renting, leasing or letting rooms in a hotel in the City, at a rate of 6% of the gross rental receipts from such renting, leasing, or letting, excluding, however, from gross rental receipts, the proceeds of such renting, leasing or letting to permanent residents of that hotel. Persons subject to said tax may reimburse themselves for their tax liability for such tax by separately stating such tax as an additional charge, which charge may be stated in combination, in a single amount, with state tax imposed under “The Hotel Operators’ Occupation Tax Act.”
