Cruise lines are taking legal action against the Alaskan cruise destination of Skagway over a recent change in how the city taxes local shore excursions. Previously, Skagway applied a local sales tax based on the tour's price set by the operator, excluding any additional commission fees added by the cruise lines. However, following a new ordinance passed last year, the city now taxes excursions based on the full retail price, which includes the commission fees added by the cruise lines to the cost paid by passengers. #skagwaysued #skagwayalaska #cruises #whill_us #chilliefalls #chilliescruises #cruisenews #shorts Thanks for visiting my channel. https://youtu.be/VovRJ5Fh1I8 To subscribe: http://bit.ly/chi-fal
