Sales and service tax in PerΓΊ?
Upvote:0
The IGV is right now at 19% until 2010. Regarding the service fee I found the following on Frommer's which seems very accurate.
Hotel taxes and service charges are an issue that has caused some confusion in recent years. Most upper-level hotels add a 19% general sales tax (IGV) and a 10% service charge to the bill. However, foreigners who can demonstrate they live outside of Peru are not charged the 19% tax (though they are responsible for the 10% service charge). In practice, hotels sometimes either mistakenly or purposely include the IGV on everyone's bill; presentation of a passport is sufficient to have the tax deducted from your tab. Many hotels -- usually those at the midlevel and lower ranges -- simplify matters by including the tax in their rates; at these establishments, you cannot expect to have the tax removed from your charges. At high-end hotels, be sure to review your bill and ask for an explanation of additional taxes and charges. Prices do not include taxes and service charges unless otherwise noted.

I haven't traveled a lot in the past years however usually most hotels will charge you both in their bills. I would recommend as advised that you always ask for an explanation of your bill since here nearly every business do it their own way most of the times...

I found two hostel receipts that did show a service tax. Maybe it is only hotels and not restaurants. Also, it may be local: Pariwana in Lima charged seven percent, and Flying Dog in Iquitos charged eight percent.
