Taxes and Fees

Hi.Events lets you configure taxes and service fees that are applied to ticket purchases.

How to Get There

  1. Click your profile icon and go to Account Settings
  2. Click the Tax & Fees tab

Creating a Tax or Fee

  1. Click + Create
  2. Choose the type: Tax or Fee
  3. Enter a name (e.g. “Sales Tax”, “Service Fee”, “VAT”)
  4. Set the rate — a percentage or a fixed amount
  5. Choose how it is displayed — inclusive (included in the ticket price) or exclusive (added on top)
  6. Save

Applying to Products

After creating a tax or fee, you can assign it to specific ticket types when creating or editing products. Each product can have multiple taxes and fees applied.

Inclusive vs Exclusive

  • Inclusive — the tax is already included in the displayed price. A $100 ticket with 10% inclusive tax means $90.91 goes to you and $9.09 is tax.
  • Exclusive — the tax is added on top of the ticket price at checkout. A $100 ticket with 10% exclusive tax shows as $110 at checkout.

Tips

  • Check your local tax regulations to determine the correct rate and display method
  • Use clear names so attendees understand what they are being charged
  • Taxes and fees are configured at the account level and available to all events
