If you or your event is tax-exempt
Under the Eventbrite Merchant Agreement, you authorize Eventbrite to collect and remit taxes on your ticket sales in jurisdictions where Eventbrite is legally required to do so. Please note that you’re responsible for understanding all of your tax obligations.
If you’ve been collecting tax in Kentucky
You will no longer be able to collect tax in Kentucky since Eventbrite is now responsible to collect and remit sales tax on ticket sales.
If you or your event is tax-exempt
When you set up your event, you’ll have to answer a couple brief questions in Tax Settings. Tax won’t be charged to you or the attendee if you’re a non-profit organization or if your event is for admission to a fishing tournament, a race track, or a historical site (as determined by the U.S. Department of Interior in the National Register).
NOTE: Eventbrite may request supporting documents to verify your answer(s). You’re responsible for providing supporting documents when requested.
