Sales tax policies

Collecting sales tax is critical to complying with the law. Movemint collects sales tax on your behalf of organizers to ensure events are compliant with current state and local tax law. Our sales tax system is informed by advice from tax professionals and lawyers.

We Collect and Remit Sales Tax By Default in the U.S. and Canada

Movemint collects and remits sales tax on all purchases in the U.S. and Canada by default. This is required by law for states with Marketplace Facilitator Laws.

For states without Marketplace Facilitator Laws, we still collect and remit sales tax by default. We're not required by law to do this, but we do it to make your life easier. Event organizers in these states can reach out to us if they would prefer to remit sales tax themselves.

We automatically register to collect sales tax in every jurisdiction in which events on our platform are held. We remit sales tax based on the collection schedule given to us by the local tax authority.

How We Calculate Sales Tax

We assess sales tax on registrations at the location of the event, merchandise at the location it is received, and service fee at your current location.

Nonprofits

In most states, nonprofits are subject to special sales tax treatment. If you're organizing an event for a nonprofit, please reach out to us to ensure your participants are charged the correct sales tax rates.
