Tourism Impact Survey
The Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing (VDTM) is looking for businesses to help quantify the impact of COVID-19 across the tourism industry – from lodging to retail and restaurants to the arts – through participation in a survey. VDTM hopes businesses will take a moment to help them understand the economic loss and seasonal trends by filling out the survey and sharing it with industry partners or businesses to fill out as well. Responses are requested by Friday, September 11, 2020 (which has been extended from September 4, 2020).
Updated Eligibility for Lodging Businesses for Buy Local Vermont program
Also from VDTM: Lodging establishments statewide are encouraged to sign up to participate in the Buy Local Vermont program. National franchises that are Vermont owned and operated are now eligible. Establishments must be domiciled and have their primary place of business in Vermont, and have suffered economic harm due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and economic crisis.
Industry Guidance Expanded
Many of the Vermont Department of Taxes' publications for businesses have been gathered together onto one web page. The Department's Industry Guidance page has resources listed so you can find all the information we have for your type of business without having to search the entire site. We are continuously updating the page, so check back from time to time.
Our Business and Corporate page has resources for businesses operating in Vermont.

Connect
To maintain the safety of our employees while still fulfilling our mission to Vermonters, most of the Department of Taxes has transitioned to a remote workforce. During this time, email remains the best way to reach us. For options, please see Best Way to Contact Us on our Coronavirus page. We are here to help!
