Guess what, hotels don't pay taxes...

I wish I had some documentation that shows how much tax we pay, then maybe we can have her fight for us instead

ME: .................................. *now with confused look on face*
SC: You really want me to believe that this "tax" you are collecting is actually for the government?
ME: Yes *again, confused look on face*
SC: BULLSHIT!!!! All of you corporations work with the government and use this "tax" as an excuse to charge poor people more money for a damn room.

Sorry Lady, you FAIL at logic. This is a business, if we wanted to charge you more, we just would, and not disguise it as a tax or a fee. We are not the phone company.

I'm not sure if this differs by state but not only do hotels pay taxes, they also pay an "entertainment" tax which is why if the county tax rate is 7.5%, the tax at the hotels could be as much as 10%.

That could have really made her head explode.

The only thing I've seen that sometimes isn't taxed is food from the grocery store. Depending on what state.

I don't think anybody should be tax exempt anyway.

Especially CHURCHES. I'm sorry, but my friend's coven certainly doesn't get that status. That's for big buildings filled with people giving up ten percent of their hard earned money for a feel good moment.... Meh, bubble wrap is cheaper.


I like bubble wrap. *Shares*

Personally I'd have said no again just to see if her head exploded...

You aren't the only one.

Sort of O.T., but in my area, many hotels DON'T pay taxes...and they're in receivership/bankruptcy court.

Ma'am, Ben Franklin once said 'the only guarantees in life are death & taxes' so I'm sorry to say, the taxes are valid. And I would like to add that if you keep arguing and screaming like this, you're liable to have a heart attack and end up with that other guarantee

I'd be more liable to charge her the P.I.T.A. tax and then she WOULD have a heart attack...that or I would kill her for being a PITA.

SC: Are you stupid?

Um....likewise.

lol how much you want to bet shes one of those women who believe the CIA is listening to her thoughts.

Two questions:
1) Are her thoughts really THAT important to the CIA?
2) What THOUGHTS?

Well she's not going to avoid the tax! So I guess when she left in a huff, she proceeded to another hotel and probably tortured the desk clerk there too.

In New York, hotels usually charge 2 taxes, state sales tax, and a county or bed tax. Our folios say "bed tax". Had this gentelman FLIP!!!!!!!!!! because we we're charging him for the use of the bed itself. I tried in vain to explain what it was, he really thought we were robbing him, or something. He insisted other hotels don't have two taxes. I told him some hotel folios have all taxes as one amount, our system posts both. I finally gave him the number of the county legislature, and told him to complain to them and to get out. He was really getting loud, he wasn't hearing me AT ALL.

The tax amount he was being psycho about....$1.65. Seriously.
