This breakdown will show you the Ticketing Fee total, including any taxes and your ticket revenue.
If you add tax on top of the total price, you won鈥檛 see any difference in your ticket revenue. The tax is added on top of the total amount charged to the attendee (鈥榖uyer total鈥) and paid by the attendee.
If you choose to include tax in the total price, the attendee won鈥檛 see a separate tax at checkout. Instead, the attendee will see a notice stating that the ticket price includes sales tax, and your ticket revenue will be reduced.
TIP: Service fees and tax are calculated using the ticket price. Payment processing fees are calculated using the total order (including service fees and tax).
