tax in the restaurants

[RMAMom]

Can anyone tell me what the tax is at TS restaurants. We have quite a few ADRs at signatures and I want to make sure I don't under budget.

At 1900 PK, for a $125.85 meal, I paid $8.18 in tax so 6.5%

I have the receipt in front of me as my DD just found it in her suitcase this morning

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%.
