Current state and local sales taxes apply to all food, beverage, labor charges, equipment rentals and service charges, and are subject to applicable tax laws and regulations.The “house” or “administrative” charge of 21% is added to your bill for the catered event/function (or comparable service) which is used to defray the cost of set up, break down, service and other house expenses. No portion of this charge is distributed to the employees providing the service. You are free, but not obligated to add, or give a gratuity directly to your servers.If the customer is an entity claiming exemption from taxation in the state where the facility is located, the customer must deliver to MCCNOFB satisfactory evidence of such exemption thirty (30) days prior to the event in order to be relieved of its obligation to pay state and local sales taxes.
