Massachusetts imposes a room occupancy excise tax on short-term rentals. Brockton operators must collect and remit state and local taxes on stays of less than 31 consecutive days.
Under Massachusetts law (Chapter 337, Acts of 2018), STR operators must collect and remit the state room occupancy excise tax, plus any local option tax adopted by Brockton. The combined rate includes the state base rate (5.7%), any local option (up to 6%), and a community impact fee for professional operators. Platforms like Airbnb collect and remit taxes in Massachusetts. Operators must register with the Massachusetts Department of Revenue. Annual reporting is required.
Failure to collect or remit taxes results in state penalties, back taxes with interest, and potential loss of local registration.
