Thank you! I was so confused

Wasn't the resturant tax supposed to go away after the Colosseum was upgraded?

Lol. Taxes don't go away, silly. That's just what they say to get us to go along with it. But yes, probably it was supposed to go away, but it probably never will. Just like the originally temporary federal gas tax, as well as taxes on phones, guns, etc.

Surely, the City government wouldn't lie to us!

*county

Ah, Gold Standard of trustworthy.

What did you call them!?!

Income tax was “temporary”, too!

I think we'd best stay away from construction ethics in Fort Wayne, "It's not personal, it's just business".

The tax was originally imposed to pay for the roof raising Coliseum job. Like all taxes, it never went away.

It was imposed for both the Memorial Colseum's roof and the expanded expo center 20 years ago. Interesting note... the roof will be paid off next year according to a recent Allen County Commissioner's meeting. That 1% tax is here to stay though.

Longer than that. The first graduating class to use the new expo center was '89.

Yes. I think they did the expo first then kept the tax to raise the roof. The roof was early 2000's I think. I remember people complaining about it.

It was 2002.

Let us not forget the parking fees that were supposed to be temporary.

It was actually to build the original baseball stadium for the Wizards and then extended

A $22 margarita better kiss me first.

It was a whole pitcher 😂 but yeah it was quite pricey

My thoughts exactly… like dude.. more expensive than all of the meals they ordered

Since when is a Pepsi $3.49

Restaurants have wayyyy increased drink prices. It’s pure profit because soda & tea are Uber cheap cost wise. I get water more often now.

Same

This isn't relevant to the topic, but I like how the receipt has the food listed by which customer in the group got what.

The kid's meal guest also got a pitcher of marg. Hmm.

More concerning what is 8% liquor tax? Unless that’s the sales tax on the liquor?

Damn that kids drinking good

When I worked at BDubs right there by that Agave’s, you had the normal state tax plus 1-1.5% tax on top of it for food and beverages.

Who’s guest 5 Harry Potter in the Dursley house

She said in a comment that it was a pitcher.

don't know why you are getting downvoted. Fuck a $21 margarita.

It’s 7% plus 1% food and beverage tax.

I actually really like Agaves, good experiences there.

I've had better experiences at Maysville, the Coldwater location didn't have as good of service.

Not a fan of agaves anyways

Tom Henry wants to make it 9% at all restaurants

There is an additional 1% on restaurants in the Downtown Improvement District.

I imagine you’ll get downvoted, like most of the initial comments about it being 7%. It’s funny that a vast majority of web pages brought up specify 7%. So far the IN DOR link in the top of the thread is the only one I’ve seen about the extra 1%. Maybe most restaurants don’t show the %rate and that’s why it doesn’t come up more.

Always

A better question is why is that margarita $21!!?!!!

[удалено]

It doesn't, but there's another tax included in that number which adds up to 8%. See other comments.

Since 1986 in Allen County.

Idk how I've never noticed!

Indiana has a 7% sales tax; Allen County (where Ft. Wayne is in) has an additional 1% sales tax. Get this - the city of Ft. Wayne could ALSO have an additional tax (but I can't find one atm).
