Tax?

[PudgetteD]

I know that tax is extra for table service meals but is it extra at counter service or is it included in the posted price? (I can't believe I don't remember!) Thanks!

All prices Disney quotes or posts are before tax, and tax is adderd to all meals.

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%.

Thanks! Wanted to make sure I allowed for tax in our food budget, it adds up with 10 days worth of meals! It's also nice being able to pay much less in taxes on vacation than at home. Our tax rate here (Clarksville, TN) is 9.5%.

Unfortunately not on everything. The tax on your resort room is 12%.
