Under our Terms of Service, you allow Eventgroove to collect and remit tax on Eventgroove fees in jurisdictions where Eventgroove is legally required to do so. Please note that you’re responsible for understanding all of your tax obligations. Eventgroove, as a marketplace provider, assumes the rights and duties of a seller or retailer under Chapter 151 of the Texas Tax Code with respect to sales made by you through the Eventgroove Events platform.

If you’ve been collecting tax in Texas

You will no longer be able to collect tax in Texas since Eventgroove is now responsible to collect and remit sales tax on ticket sales.

If you or your event is tax-exempt

Exemptions on Sales Tax for Admission Tickets
If your organization has an exemption certificate for the state where your venue is located, you may upload it in your 'My Account' profile. When your event is published, a third party integration will assess if the exemption applies to the sales tax on admission tickets in the relative jurisdiction. If you have a certificate uploaded and sales tax is populating on transactions, yet you have identified where an exemption is explicit to your use case, please send the appropriate documentation listed below along with the regulatory URL identifying the applicable tax code to support@eventgroove.com. Be sure to include your Event ID so that Eventgroove Support can determine if a manual exemption is allowable.
