Automatically add sales tax to item purchases to comply with local laws and regulations.

Some states require that sales tax be added to any purchases made through your fundraisers. If you’re selling taxable items, you may need to report these purchases to the state and pay taxes. Be sure to check your state's rules and regulations before you start fundraising. 

Sales tax can be applied to the following items:

• Store (Sale) items 
• Auction items  
• Crowdfunding Perks  
• Event Tickets
• A-Thon or Peer-to-Peer registrations

Taxes only apply to purchased items. If a donor purchases an item and gives a donation at the same time, the sales tax will not be applied to the donation. 

When enabled, sales tax will be automatically added at checkout:
