- 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. Eventbrite, as a marketplace provider, assumes the rights and duties of a seller or retailer under Chapter 151 of the Texas Tax Code with respect to sales made by you through the Eventbrite platform.
If you’ve been collecting tax in Texas
You will no longer be able to collect tax in Texas 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 brief question in Tax Settings. Tax won’t be charged to you or the attendee if the admissions to your event are exempt from Texas sales and use tax or otherwise not subject to Texas sales and use tax per 34 Texas Administrative Code § 3.298.
NOTE: Eventbrite may request supporting documents to verify your answer(s). You’re responsible for providing supporting documents when requested.
