Events transacted in USD

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.

Humanitix will automatically calculate state-collected sales tax if your event takes place in these states (click to expand)

These factors can change between the time you publish your event and when your event takes place. Tax is charged on the date the ticket is sold. The tax calculated on your attendees' orders may change.


Events transacted in all other currencies

If your event is transacted in any other currency than USD, then Humanitix will not automatically calculate and/or remit tax, GST, or VAT etc on your sales. For example, for events transacted in AUD or NZD.

If you believe your event(s) are subject to tax you must apply these settings via the payments and fees > settings page of your event.

You can also set these tax details as a default for your account via the account > my account > default payment settings page.

Your earnings and payout are all inclusive of any tax.
