Georgia - Understanding Tax Collection

For events in Georgia, you’ll see sales tax applied to the total amount charged to the attendee (‘buyer total’) based on the applicable tax rate. Learn more about tax on ticket sales.

In this article

  • If you’ve been collecting tax in Georgia
  • If you or your event is tax-exempt

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 Georgia

You will no longer be able to collect tax in Georgia 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. Tax won’t be charged to you or the attendee if the following applies to you or your event: (i) your event is a 10k, half-marathon, marathon, fun run, walk, wheelchair race, bicycle race, triathlon, or any other similar non-motorized race, (ii) your event is a school event or function held by a public or private school (grades kindergarten through 12) and the net proceeds are used solely for the benefit of such public or private school or its students, or (iii) you are a religious institution or denomination offering a fundraising event, the proceeds from which will be used exclusively for any of the following charitable purposes: church-related youth activities, religious instruction or worship, construction or repair of church buildings or facilities, or relief for the elderly.

NOTE: Eventbrite may request supporting documents to verify your answer(s). You’re responsible for providing supporting documents when requested.
