Hello gals! Today we received our final venue bill and I have a question. Our venue bills us for the service charge/gratuity at 21%. In addition, NJ state tax is 7%. On the final bill, they taxed us on the price per plate and total gratuity. Is that even possible? I'm not sure what the rules and laws are about taxing in NJ... but it seems weird to me that they will tax us on the gratuity. Or is that normal because we are paying it upfront? Should I ask our accountant? The difference in tax is about $250 from what they are telling us we owe versus what I calculate.
