LVRJ: Nevada casinos, Tax Commission reach deal on comped meals

#1

I have the same experience as Tom--never been taxed on a comped meal. It must be something casinos have been paying after the fact. If Bellagio has recently been charging the tax to its comped players, it didn't in the past so there had to have been a bit of confusion within the industry prior to this agreement/settlement.

If comped meals have never been taxed, why might a refund be owed?

Have casinos been paying taxes on them? My bills on comped meals have

always excluded tax.

For as long as I can remember, my experience has been that some restaurants did and some restaurants didn't charge sales tax on a comped meal. Eventually I came to the (possibly erroneous) conclusion that the restaurants that did not charge sales tax were the restaurants that the casino owned. The restaurants that did charge sales tax were the ones that were owned by other people/companies. It was a rule of thumb that seemed to hold true; though, there might have been exceptions that I don't remember.
