- 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 North Carolina
You will no longer be able to collect tax in North Carolina 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 sales from your event is not taxable or otherwise tax exempt under one of the North Carolina exemptions listed here.
NOTE: Eventbrite may request supporting documents to verify your answer(s). You’re responsible for providing supporting documents when requested.
