We plan to gradually widen the availability of our dedicated tax tool--keep an eye on our blog for announcements as we expand our dedicated tax support! In the meantime, see below to learn how to add tax to your ticket price if you are not in the abovementioned countries.
As an example, we'll use a $50 ticket, with 10% tax to be added on to the price
When on the Create an Event page for your event, in Step 2: Add Tickets, click the Create a Ticket button. (If you've already created a ticket, and want to create an additional ticket type, this button will say Add a New Ticket.)
To add tax to an existing ticket for an existing event, go to the event's Edit page and click the name of the ticket type to edit the information for that ticket.
In the Edit Ticket window that appears, indicate in the Ticket Name that the tax is included in the price. Make sure to include the sum of your ticket price and any taxes in the Price field. Then enter the Quantity Available of this ticket type.
In our example, the name of the ticket is "General Admission," and we've shown that 10% tax is included. (We've included a line break between the name of the ticket and the tax information by adding in the HTML tag <br/> so that this information will appear on separate lines.) We've then entered $55 as the Price, as this is the sum of our original $50 ticket price and the additional $5 in taxes.
Next, click on Show to view the Advanced Options.
In the Ticket Description field, include a message reiterating that the tax is included in the ticket price. This message will appear below the name of your ticket type on your event page. Uncheck the Auto Hide Description box, so that this message will always be visible. Make sure to click Save.
Note: By default, the service fee is added on top of any value you include in the Price field and so is paid by the attendee. To learn more about the option to absorb the fee yourself, go here.
Back on the main Edit or Create an Event page, click on View or Preview in the upper left to view your event page and see how the ticket information is displayed to your attendees. Well done!
Tip: We recommend also adding information about taxes into Step 3: Add Event Details on your event's Edit page. The more messaging the better, we say!
You can also customize the order confirmation email that your attendees will receive after they order to include the fact that tax is included in the ticket price. Go here to learn how.
