Confused

[Poohshoney]

I'm not American, the tax confuses me. Are the restaurant prices I see online subject to additional tax? It's not my first time in the U.S. but I can't for the life of me remember. Thankyou for your help!

Taxes vary from state to state. I'm not sure what Florida is.

Yes, the prices do not include taxes. Or tips.

Yes, tax will be in addition to prices you see posted as will the gratuity.

 

[loves to dive]

Yes and it's 6%, not including the tip which is not taxable.

And on the receipt of your bill WDW kindly includes the suggested amounts if you wish to tip (I think) 15, 18 or 20%. No need to calculate if math isn't your thing. We always tip 20% unless the service sucked.

Thanks very much! I really couldn't remember

Depends on where you see them. Some websites post prices inclusive of the Florida sales or restaurant tax (not clear on which they have). Especially for buffets, AYCE or fixed price restaurants where everyone pays the same price.

I've mainly been looking at All Ears and the WDW ones.

Tax is on top of the menu prices at all restaurants and quick service places.

Except at some outdoor carts where prices include the tax to make it easier for the CM to make change. For example one time we were there bottles of soda were $2.00 including tax at a cart, but marked at $1.88 in stores where the tax was added after.

I didn't know it wasn't included in the quick service places either. It really has been too long since I was there! Thanks for your replies, they've really helped.
