What is the sales tax of food at the restaurants on property?

[Jlampley]

I'm working out my food budget and ,having never gone without the DDP, I'm not sure what the tax is on food in the park restaurants. Any idea? In Tennessee it's 9.25% - I'm hoping for a bit of a tax break

Wow! Here in Michigan, it's 6%....Isn't it 6% in Florida, too? I can't remember.

I think it is 6%

We go to Nashville TN every year to Opry Mills. And the 9.25% sales tax is always a big change from the 6% I'm used to. But we still go of course...

I believe its closer to 7%. All of FL is 6% but each county adds up to 1.5% I believe

Orange County is 6.5%

Osceola County is 7.0%

Cheshire Figment explains it SO much better than I do, so I will quote him from another thread...

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%.
