flag LA approves new taxes for 2026–2028 events, including TOT hikes and fees on online bookings and unlicensed cannabis.

flag The Los Angeles City Council has approved three measures for the June 2 primary ballot, including a proposed 2% transient occupancy tax (TOT) increase through 2028 followed by a 1% reduction, a new tax on unlicensed cannabis businesses, and an extension of the TOT to online travel booking companies. flag The moves aim to boost revenue ahead of major events like the 2026 World Cup, 2027 Super Bowl, and 2028 Olympics. flag Council members debate the tax’s impact on tourism and spending, with some opposing it over cost concerns and accountability. flag Additional taxes under consideration include an event tax, ride-sharing fee, vacancy tax, and retail delivery fee.
