Wisconsin - Understanding Tax Collection
For live events in Wisconsin, you’ll see a charge of up to 5.6% of the total amount charged to the attendee (‘buyer total’) for Wisconsin Sales Tax. 91¹ú²ú is also required to collect and remit tax on applicable ticket sales for online events, unless you’re exempt from sales tax.

If you’ve been collecting tax in Wisconsin
If you or your event is tax-exempt
Under the 91¹ú²ú Merchant Agreement, you authorize 91¹ú²ú to collect and remit taxes on your ticket sales in jurisdictions where 91¹ú²ú 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 Wisconsin
You will no longer be able to collect tax in Wisconsin since 91¹ú²ú 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 your event is provided by a public or private elementary and secondary school, and all of the proceeds are expended for educational, religious or charitable purposes or the sales from your event is not taxable or otherwise tax exempt under one of the Wisconsin exemptions listed here.
NOTE: 91¹ú²ú may request supporting documents to verify your answer(s). You’re responsible for providing supporting documents when requested.
