In Reply to: 21% TAX ???? posted by Dian on Wednesday, 14. October 1998 at 10:12 Bali Time:
Its made up of two separate taxes that total 21% - doesn't really matter much does it. Back in the dim dark past it only applied to designated tourist areas like Sanur.
You will often see signs referring to costs as xxxxxxxRP ++. The two plus signs indicate that you need to add the two taxes to get the real cost.
It definitely applies to accommodation and to food in most restaurants. sometimes it is built into the price sometimes not. Don't get too concerned about it but be aware it exists. Rarely does anybody try to hide it. Usually you will see stated explicitly that a price either does or does not include tax.
CASE!
