confirming tax on BCFD redemptions
Just confirming -- have others had the same experience as Jackal, as to taxes and fees when redeeming BCFD vouchers?
For the rental I'm looking at, four days of taxes and fees come to $90+ -- hardly pocket change, since I could use discount codes to get another car rental company down to about $130 including all taxes and fees as an ordinary paid rental.
Many of these fees are listed in percentage form. Example: "concession recovery fee 11.11%" and "state tax 6.25%". On one view, 11% of $0 is $0, so this fee should be waived. I guess they could assign an arbitrary rate to the rental, then tax that. But is that proper and lawful?
If I use a discount code to reduce the base price of rental, will percentage taxes then be calculated on that lower amount?
