The Lakes Region Association has scheduled a workshop on the recent Meals & Rentals Tax change with the Department of Revenue on TUESDAY, July 21, 2009 from 10am - Noon at Patrick's Pub & Eatery in Gilford.
It is suggested that Campground owners especially attend a workshop and bring their completed Form CD-3 for review as it will expedite the licensing process as well as give the Operator an opportunity to be instructed on how to accurately and timely file using the Department's e-file option. Other workshops will be scheduled throughout the state at dates and times to be announced.

So that the Department may plan for the number of attendees to expect at each workshop, they are asking that you RSVP the number of attendees by calling (603) 271-2191 between 8:00 and 4:30 pm any regular business day. Individuals who need auxiliary aids for effective communication in programs and services of the Department of Revenue Administration are invited to make their needs and preferences known to the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration, 109 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301 or by contacting them at (603) 271-2191.e 603-271-2192.
