How is the reception hall price calculated
It's price per person, 18% and 8.75 tax, I know that much. But is the 18% taxed?
I.E.
80pp * 100 = 8000 * 18% = 9440 * 8.75%
or
80pp * 100 = 8000 * 8.75% + 18% of 8000
Did I confuse everyone yet?

Re: How is the reception hall price calculated
I think the 18% is usually taxed... they get away with it by calling it a service charge (as opposed to a tip). It's BS!!!
I dont think all halls rip you off, but unfortunately, most do.

Re: How is the reception hall price calculated
I believe you're right.
80pp * 100 = 8000 * 8.75% + 18% of 8000
You don't tax gratuity.

Re: How is the reception hall price calculated
the 18% should not be taxed. gratuity is added to the pre-tax price, and tax is calculated w/o gratuity. i was a waitress, that is the way we used to do it, and i consider it unethical for it to be calculated the other way. good luck!

Re: How is the reception hall price calculated
The gratuity should not be taxed. I remember asking my dad about that since he works in a restaurant.

Re: How is the reception hall price calculated
i think there is a thread from a few months ago..
some halls dont tax it... but if your hall calls it a "Sevice charge" then they can tax it

This was the case with our reception hall and other's that we looked at.
