Is the gratuity taxed or no. Can someone show me an example of the breakdown. I would gladly appreciate your help.
TIA

Re: Gratuity/Service Tax???
Yes the Gratuity is taxed.
Take your per person number times you gratuity (prob 19 or 20%) and then tax that number 8.625

Re: Gratuity/Service Tax???
i was baffled by this too. technically gratuity is not supposed to be taxed. they get away with taxing you because its a 'service' charge rather than a gratuity. i know i was calculating it wrong in the beginning because i was thinking 'tip'
good luck!

yup, that unfortunately seems to be standard at all the places i looked at, except for the Harbour Club. That was the only RH i visited that didn't tax the tip. It just doesn't seem right!

Re: Gratuity/Service Tax???
depends on the RH most the gratuity is taxed because they call it a 'service charge' instead of a tip....

The gratuity should NOT be taxed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Take your price x percent gratuity=Gratuity Take your price x percent tax=Tax
Add Your Price + Gratuity + Tax = Grand Total (per person)

gratuity is not taxed service charge is
it depends on what your hall calls it
If it is a gratuity, it can not be taxed bc you can't tax tips, however if it is a service charge, it goes towards things for the hall, which must be taxed by law-- check what your hall calls it
