Does anyone know where I can find information on the internet about taxing gratuity. I have been told by other catering halls that a catering hall cannot tax gratuity and mine is!!!
I mentioned this to them when I booked and they wouldn't budge...I want to bring it to them in writing so I don't have any problems...
I appreciate any help!
Thanks

They tax the serice charge not gratuity so they can get away with it.

Re: Catering halls and tax on Gratuity
If a catering hall is charging a service charge then they must charge sales tax. If it a gratuity being passed on directly to the employees i believe they are not supposed to charge tax. There have been several threads regarding this. You may want to search and see what comes up.

They can tax service charge, they cannot tax gratuity. It's the law.

Ya, that doesn't sound right... Gratuity should not be taxed

Re: Catering halls and tax on Gratuity
Service charges must be taxed, they usually go to the hall's salaries- look on you contract and see the wording- if it literally says: gratuity is ___% and then tax is added, that is not legal
