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.
If you’ve been collecting tax in Minnesota
You will no longer be able to collect tax in Minnesota 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 couple brief questions in Tax Settings. For events in Minneapolis, tax won’t be charged to you or your attendee if you’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and your event does not include food and drinks, catering services, or merchandise sold in public places during live performances, including intermissions. For events outside of Minneapolis, tax won’t be charged to you or the attendee if you’re a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
NOTE: Eventbrite may request supporting documents to verify your answer(s). You’re responsible for providing supporting documents when requested.
