I've read that many halls tax the gratuity! Any thoughts? Experiences?

I just spoke with North Ritz - they figure it out as the per plate charge + gratuity + tax.

i dont have my contract in front of me, so i am not 100% sure, but i think that we signed the contract for one flat rate per person (inclusive of all taxes and gratuities)...

i could care less how they work backwards to figure out the actual amount and what is taxed and how much...i just want to know the final cost per person

I believe the service charges are taxed, the addional tips to matre'ds and attendants is not.

ask the hall if u pay the gratuity in cash to not tax it. some will say yes

ok so did i do this right - say someone is paying $60 PP with the tax & tip its $78.21 but if the tip isnt taxed then its $77.17 - thats not a huge difference like $124 - am i right??
