RH bill

For the married ladies, did you pay NY tax on the 18.5% gratuity? I thought the gratuity was not taxed?

Re: RH bill

I think they tax it because they call it a service charge (so they can tax it)..I'm pretty sure that is how they justify taxing it

In most places it's taxed. If they call it a 'service charge' it can be taxed.

Re: RH bill

Service Charge is usually not the same as tip.

But mine did if I remember correctly.

Re: RH bill

some RH call it a service charge, some call it a gratuity.

service charge is taxable
gratuity is NOT taxable.

why the distinction betw service charge and gratuity I don't know. our RH had a gratuity and didn't tax it so I didn't want to ask more questions
