You can issue tax-deductible receipts for donations, or if a percentage of your ticket sales is tax-deductible, you can declare the percentage in the same receipt as well.
Tax-deductible receipts appear as itemisations on the PDF tax receipt/invoice attached to the order confirmation email that a buyer receives after their purchase.
Humanitix cannot advise whether the donations you collect and ticket sales generated from your event are tax-deductible. We recommend you contact your local state or federal tax authority.

Commonly asked questions
Can I issue tax-deductible receipts through Humanitix after a purchase or the event?
No, tax-deductible receipts can only be generated at the time of the transaction. Adding your tax-deductible details will not retroactively update any existing buyer receipt/invoice, nor can you send a tax-deductible to all existing buyers. You will need to manually generate a receipt outside of Humanitix.
