SO an exchange (RCI or II) person pays 15% of what? There is no charge for the room other than the TS tax of $50. Renters I understand.

They pay the mandatory 50 a week TS Tax and a daily mandatory resort fee and no 15% SC or 5% tax. Renters pay the 15% SC and 5% tax and no $50 TS Tax. Pretty sure renters also have the resort fee too but that might be covered in the 15% SC.


Now I am more confused....SO no 15% for exchangers (II/RCI) as I thought....but a resort fee? Is this unique to Flamingo/Royal Palm or common practice for some resorts. I've exchanged into SBR and just paid the TS tax of $50...but I haven't exchanged into SBR in a couple of years
