The 18% the hall charges for a service fee doesn't include the 8.625% sales tax?
no, the 18% is generally gratuity and only for the servers (maybe bartenders as well)
the svc fee isnt taxed.
ok, thanks. So I would be taxed the 8.625% only on the contract price, and the 18% gratuity would also be calculated based only on the contract price alone (and not with the added tax)?
they should be calculated seperately based on the contract price.
I know it seems like a lot right!! My place charges 20% service charge + 8.625% tax.... so much $$$

I'm in VA and am facing the same issue. There is a 21% service charge and then the tax on top of that. Has anyone else found a way to deal with this? To the best of my knowledge the service charge equals or includes the tips. Any ideas on this would be appreciated!!!

Thank is illegal. You can not tax a service fee.
