OK so is it the total then the 18% gratuity then tax added to that total?


or is it suppose to be tax then 18%??

or 18% on the pp amount and tax on that amount?

im so confused i didnt think they taxed the 18%

It is the gratuity and then it is taxed...
Basically everything is getting taxes..lol

Yes, I multiplied it wrong when I was initially trying to figure out the price, and that's why it's good to make sure they write a total number for your minimum number of people for you.

For my venue, it's the service charge and then everything is taxed. It's crazy!

Either way is astronomical

they can get away with taxing it by calling it a mandatory service charge/gratuity amount as opposed to a suggested one. Definitely stinks!!

yes it does!!!

lol it all adds up and you cant forget to feed your vendors too lol

does the 2nd to last payment include these charges, or are they all on the last payment

so my question is really- if my 2nd to last payment is 50% of total is that 50% of my pp or is it 50% + svc + gratuity? also is it based off of my minimum?

This. my hall was in the process of changing it when we were booking from calling it gratuity to service charge. But we made sure that they did not tax the gratuity for us and we worked that out when we signed the contract.

My bill was written as such (with fictitious numbers)

total: 10,000
20% grat: 2,000 (20% of 10, 000)
tax: 1035 (.08625 of 10,000 + 2,000)
