Humanitix may be required to automatically remit state sales tax depending on the state the event is run.
If Humanitix is required to collect state sales tax on behalf of the event hosts, then we will also remit sales tax and file a sales tax return.
If Humanitix is not required to collect sales tax, we will not remit the sales tax to the state.
Note: “State-collected” sales tax and custom tax are different.
Sales Tax - Only if Humanitix is required to collect sales tax in your state will Humanitix remit sales tax collected on your behalf as the 'marketplace facilitator'. If so, the sales tax will not be included in your payout.
Custom Tax - The event host is always responsible for remitting custom tax, if any, to state or local tax authorities. The custom tax will be included in your payout.
Event hosts are responsible for all compliance and tax obligations in areas where the event is taking place. Humanitix cannot give tax advice. Please contact the tax assessor nearest to your event location with questions
What states require Humanitix to collect and remit sales tax?
Humanitix partners with TaxJar to determine if we meet the state’s criteria for when an online marketplace becomes a “marketplace facilitator” and when Humanitix is required to collect sales tax on behalf of Humanitix hosts.
Note: This refers to 'state-collected' sales tax only. Your specific event may be subject to excise, local or other legislated taxes outside of “state-collected” sales tax.

⚠️ Reporting Required: Marketplace sellers required to file a gross receipts tax return may take the deduction on the same return in which they report their receipts, the Form TRD-41413, Gross Receipts Tax Return. If all receipts of the marketplace seller are deductible, the result will be that no tax is owed by the seller, though the reporting is still required. Note: It is still important for the marketplace seller to file a timely return when required or late filing penalty will be assessed.
⛺️ Camping & Lodging: Sellers using marketplaces to list and allow the use of real property in New Mexico should be aware that in addition to New Mexico gross receipts tax, their sales may be subject to other tax programs administered by municipalities such as lodgers’ tax. Lodgers’ tax is not a state tax and is not administered by the Taxation and Revenue Department. Sellers should contact the municipal or county government where the real property is located in order to learn whether this tax may apply. If your event includes a camping pass or any other ticket that may be considered a 'Lodger's Tax' please contact your local tax authority for guidance. See the Custom Tax feature regarding your responsibility to pay this tax directly to the appropriate tax authority.
