How much Tax (%) is charge on Restuarant Checks?

[LeeAnn]

How much Tax (%) is charge on Restuarant Checks? I tried to do a search but other topics came up?

Trying to make a budget of out of pocket expenses.

On DDP, tax is included, correct?

Trying a couple extra places (out of pocket) so I trying to figure out which I do on the plan and which out of pocket. Trying to incorpaorate everything?

And is the tax (%) the same at all resturants?

Thanks.

6.5% (0.065)

Tax is included in DDP prices. The rate, as noted, is 6.5% in most places. Some of the value resorts are in a different locality, and the tax rate at those food courts would be 7%.

The basic Sales Tax rate in Florida is 6.0% and is on most goods and services. The counties have an option, by vote of their residents, to add a surtax of 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0% or 1.5% to the state rate.

Orange County, which is most of WDW, has a surtax of 0.5% so purchases (including meals) are taxed at 6.5%.

Osceola County, which has the All-Stars Resorts and Wide World of Sports in it, has a 1.0% surtax so purchases at those locations are subject to a 7.0% tax.

In addition, counties are allowed to have a tax on transient lodging. In both Orange and Osceola Counties it is 6.0%, so all lodging except the All Stars is 12.5% while the All Stars, in Osceola County, is 13.0%.
