Umm...not exactly. For a $100 meal, the server does not have to pay $8 in taxes. S/he (sorry Connie) pays tax *on* $8. Everything above 8% is untaxed except for the rare ultra-honest server who declares every cent in tips they receive. Most only declare 8% of their total sales and all tips they receive on credit card sales. This is why servers prefer cash.
