Right? I’m gonna be calling Harvard next week and get to the bottom of this. Should I cross post this in r/Harvard or save it for the call?

I work at a university, and it’s real. In my experience though it only should be applied to catered services, not sit down meals.

Actually, I just found this which outlines clearly that yes taxes should be removed, even for meals: https://internal.procurement.harvard.edu/files/procurement/files/2018jun28_tax_exemption_write_up.pdf

Thanks for this. Yeah I spoke to my friend who happens to deal with this stuff and he said it has to be pre approved if it is a business meal and they must use the p card or corporate card. But he did say catering is the most common.
