Localist Register integrates with Stripe Tax to automatically calculate and collect sales tax on event registrations based on the product category assigned to each ticket type. When creating or editing a ticket, you can select from several predefined categories that align with Stripe's tax codes, ensuring accurate tax treatment across different jurisdictions.
Each category corresponds to a specific Stripe product tax code that determines how the item is taxed according to local regulations. The table below outlines the available ticket categories in Localist, their descriptions, and their corresponding Stripe tax codes. For more detailed information about how Stripe Tax works and specific tax code definitions, visit the Stripe Tax documentation.
