No. I was told that the tip is non taxable.

Im pretty sure they add the gratuity to the price and then tax the whole thing. I just did the calculations like that and it seems to work out to the price I was quoted.
... or maybe they tax it and then add gratuity to that total? Im stumped too now.

I believe that it is illegal to tax a tip, but I think some halls get away with this by calling it something else. I'm not 100% sure though

Yes, if they call it a service charge and not gratuity you can be taxed on it.

They cannot charge you tax on tip. It's illegal you sould see a line for gratuity and the overall charges sans that grautity with tax. FM me if you want more info

This is correct.. when they add the 18% or 20% 'service charge' they can tax it. SUCKKKKS!!!

That *****
but the service charge is NOT totaled to the subtotal and then taxed. It cant be. It is illegal the statement should look like this:
Hall subtotal: $10 Gratutity: for arguement sake: $5 (should be 22% of the total but this is an example) Tax: 8.375%
TOTAL= $10+ 8.37%= $18.37 + $5=23.75
thats how it is with every vendor I work with for events.
They CANNOT tax on tip, its a line item, sure but not taxable. That why its presented at the bottom.

No....the tax and tip should be calculated seperately.

If they call the tip a 'SERVICE CHARGE' it can be taxed.
if they call it a tip, it can't.

yeah..it says 'service charge 18%' and it is calculated in with the grand total. I am going to see my Maitre D tonight, should I question this?

See what your contract says, it depends on the contract language. If the contract says 'service charge', you can be pretty sure you're getting \taxed on it.

They tax it when they call it a 'service charge'. That being said I would assume that most halls call it a service charge!

If they call the tip a 'SERVICE CHARGE' it can be taxed.
if they call it a tip, it can't.
This is what I thought as well.

So, do you need to give a tip to them the day of the wedding? I am being told that it's $3.00 per guest. I am now getting confused.
