Hi ladies, I'm hoping this is not a ridiculously dense question because it makes sense to me one way and not the other, but I want to double check. Do you pay sales tax before or after gratuity? So say my venue cost for ceremony and reception is X dollars, do I calculate sales tax on X dollars or do I calculate sales tax on (X dollars + required 20% gratuity)? It makes NO sense to me to pay sales tax on gratuity, but I want to double check before I completely throw off my budget. I'm guessing this is a universal thing, and it says nothing about this in my contract.

[QUOTE]I'm fairly sure it is before gratuity. <strong>We don't have sales tax in NH</strong> and even though I'm getting married in MA, the tax and gratuity is built into the list price. Taxes confused me too. I've always lived in NH with no sales or income tax.
