gratuity and tax question
Im sure this question has been asked 1000 times, but for some reason I always miss it. Anyways, FYI Im cut and pasting this in the 2012 section as well. Onto the question...
Say a reception hall is $100 pp and 20% gratuity. Do the places put tax and gratuity on that $100 ($8.75 and $20) making the real price $128.74 pp.
or
Is it $100 pp, then the ($8.75 tax) then is the $108.75 gratutitized ($21.75 = 20% of 108.75) making the total price of $130.50 pp.
or
Is it $100 pp, then the 20% gratuity. Then is the $120 taxed ($10.50 = .875% of 120), making the final price $130.50.
well, I guess 2 and 3 come out to the same thing
