Hi All

I'm working on a budget for our trip to WDW in 2009. Can someone tell me what the tax rate is at WDW? I'm working on my food budget.

Thanks
 
It's 6.5%

If it's a REALLY tight budget, I noticed that if the tax was $5.051 (when figuring on a calculator) they would charge $5.06. :goodvibes

Wow! That certainly beets the heck out of our 9.25% here in Tennessee! :scared1:
 
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%.
