Do convenient stores pay the restaurant taxes?

Convenience stores and gas stations are to charge and remit this 2% tax if they are serving any type of “prepared” food to their consumers. "Prepared food” includes any of the following: food sold in a heated state or heated by the seller; two (2) or more food ingredients mixed or combined by the seller for sale as a single item; food sold with eating utensils; nonalcoholic beverages, except for beverages sold in unopened containers to be consumed off premises.

A copy of each law is available online at www.seviervilletn.org. We have also provided a document titled “Sevierville Hospitality Taxes” which explains the purpose of the taxes. These documents are on the home page and titled as follows:

· Sevierville  pdf Amusement Tax (187 KB)
· Sevierville  pdf Restaurant Tax (128 KB)
· Sevierville pdf Lodging Tax (683 KB)

Which business types are required to collect and remit this money to the city?

The restaurant tax should be collected by any establishment selling prepared food in the City of Sevierville, whether for consumption on-premises or off-premises. The amusement tax should be collected by any amusement or establishment within the city limits, where a fee is charged for admission or entrance (either directly or indirectly). The lodging tax is collected on overnight stays in any hotel, motel, cabins, resorts, etc. For a complete list of business types required to collect this tax, please review the laws on all three taxes listed on our website.

How will this tax be remitted to the City of Sevierville?

All restaurant, amusement and lodging taxes should be filed online at www.seviervilletn.org. After certifying that all figures are true and correct, pay online or print the form and remit along with payment to the City of Sevierville, PO Box 5500, Sevierville, TN 37864. Please remember to keep a copy for your records.

Is this tax applicable to wholesale food distributors, who have no direct customer consumption on-site?

No. This tax should not be charged to food wholesalers, who do not provide onsite consumption at their factories or warehouses. Please be prepared to provide a wholesalers tax ID number should you be contacted by the tax department from the City of Sevierville.

Will the City be contacting me to let me know how much I owe in taxes?

No. Hospitality taxes are based on your business’s monthly taxable revenue, which is then calculated at a 2% tax rate for Amusement and Restaurant and 3% for Lodging, to be remitted directly to the City of Sevierville. These taxes are due by the 20th of each month, for the previous month’s taxable revenue. The tax revenues owed will be calculated on our Tax Filing Website and a tax form will generate once it is filled out and verified by the business representative. The taxes can be paid online or a print out of the form will need to be mailed in with the monthly payment.
