If I am currently registered for the general excise tax because of various other business activities, can I add my rental activity to my current license?

Yes, you may add your rental activity to your list of business activities provided that all businesses are owned by the same taxpayer, or taxpayers in the case of husband and wife who operate as sole proprietors. Use Form GEW-TA-RV-5, “General Excise, Use, Employer’s Withholding, Transient Accommodations, and Rental Motor Vehicle & Tour Vehicle Surcharge Application Changes Form,” to add another business activity. This form is in your general excise tax forms booklet.

Be sure that the form includes your name as registered, your identification number, and all of the information the Department will need to make the change.
