- If you or your event is tax-exempt
Under our Terms of Service, you allow Eventbrite to collect and remit tax on Eventbrite fees in jurisdictions where Eventbrite is legally required to do. Please note that you’re responsible for understanding all of your tax obligations. In some areas, taxing authorities (city, county and/or state) may impose separate taxes on the same transaction that Eventbrite does not collect.
If you’ve been collecting tax in New York
In most jurisdictions, Eventbrite’s collection of tax on the Eventbrite fees does not change your responsibility to collect tax on the amount you charge to your attendees.
You’re still responsible to collect, remit, and report to the tax authorities the correct amount of tax due on the amounts you charge to your attendees. If you determine you need to charge tax, you can add tax on ticket sales.
If you’re not sure if you need to charge tax on your ticket sales, please consult your tax advisor. Eventbrite can’t give you tax advice.
If you or your event is tax-exempt
New York grants non-profit organizations a sales tax exemption if the non-profit provides the appropriate certification. To exempt your account, please provide the following to tax-nonprofitorg@eventbrite.com:
Completed Exempt Purchase Certificate (Form ST-119.1)
IRS Determination Letter For more information on state specific tax exemptions, please reference the New York Department of Taxation and Finance website.
TIP: If you’re sending tax exemption documentation to tax-nonprofitorg@eventbrite.com, your email must come from the email address of the main Eventbrite account holder in order for us to verify your identity.
