TULANE MEAL PLAN

ANNOUNCEMENT

In light of recent legislation passed in the state of Louisiana, all meal plan transactions, such as purchase of Wavebuck$ or purchase of new plans, will be assessed a charge for state sales tax.

From April 1-June 30, 2016, all meal plan transactions will be assessed a 5% charge for state sales tax (i.e. if a student purchases $100 in Wavebuck$ after April 1, the student will pay $105). Students charging their meal plan to Accounts Receivable will have the tax assessed to their Accounts Receivable monthly statement. Details about taxation on purchases made using payroll deduction are forthcoming. All other purchases made at the Splash Card & Dining Services Office will be assessed the tax when the purchase is made.

Beginning July 1, the sales tax assessed to meal plans will be reduced to 3%. Assessment will occur as stated above.

Bear in mind that even though this is an increase in the cost of the meal plan, it is still a discount from the 10.5% in sales tax that is assessed on purchases made in Orleans Parish.
