Need this nationwide. I hate having fees added on to the price of what I’m ordering.

    My new favorite is a hotel tax I just saw today which conveniently isn’t included in the room rate.

      This has been the case forever. Itemizing receipts for hotels is always a pain and at least my company’s expense tool has buttons for more than 7 different tax fields each night. It’s like filling out a whole spreadsheet it the nightly rate varies.

      Unfortunately, govt is the cause of that, not the solution. Taxes are always separate since they vary by location and are defined by the local govt. but yes it’s also a problem when that local govt wants to join in on fleecing the tourists, and it’s by convention not part of the price

        Yeah, but tax can always be figured into the presented price of things if businesses are required to do so.

        That’s pretty much the point of this type of legislation. Of course you need legislators who, y’know, vote to legislate in this way.

        Yeah. It would be really convenient to calculate if the hotels just stood around in one spot for years so the taxes didn’t change every time someone got a room, but with them constantly on the move who could predict anything?
