On this page you will find:

Group Admins can add tax rates to ticketed events. Each U.S. state has different laws for how sales tax is collected and reported. Charging taxes is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the event organizer. If enabled, you are responsible for all local tax laws and MeeteR does not withhold or remit taxes collected on your behalf. MeeteR provides no guarantee the taxes set up on an event page are accurate according to any laws.   

When enabled, taxes will be a percentage added to the sum of the ticket price. If multiple taxes are added, taxes will not be calculated on top of each other. Any MeeteR service fees applied will be calculated on top of the total of tickets, and any taxes added.

Only Group Admins have the ability to add tax rates for all events within groups they are part of. Only Event Admins have the ability to add tax rates to ticket types for events they have been given access to.

Before assigning tax rates to your event, you will need to have set up your group payout method or set up your event payout method.
