Someone told me that if you get food to go, they don't tax you. It's a sit-down tax. So always ask for food to go in a fast food joint. However, in Cali we have a restaurant chain called In-n-Out Burger. Whenever you go through the drive through they ask you if you will be eating your food in the car - everyone does. They give you a bib and a box instead of a bag. However, according to my source, if you say yes to that question, even though you're taking it to go and not dining-in, they still charge you the dine-in tax. Does anyone know if this is true. I plan to fire off another of my famous letters if you can't come up with an answer and a source for the answer. Okay, go. You should be more like Cantrip.  Twitchy: "I pulled a Cantrip . . ."

Well its a "charge" some restuarants include. Not a government tax of any kind. Its usually a fee/charge they basically justify by saying that you are paying for the cleanup/maintainance of the eating area. If you take it to go...then you arent messing up thier dining area so they don't charge you.
As for in&out...I rarely went through the drive through....but it would be rediculous if they did charge you for eating in your car.

That is total BS. None of that crap here in TX. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

They tax us here in maryland for both. An Eat-in tax or a Take Out tax. It's the same amount for either, but i think it's their word for sales tax. However, you can't put a tax on food, so i think it's just the state using words against us.  Cantrip wrote:When I die, I want to be reincarnated as a woman's jogging bra.

You get taxed either way, because they've provided the service of preparing your food. You do not pay sales tax on groceries.
