Tax adds GST or another tax to tickets. It is set per event, under **Taxes** on the event's **Registration** page. Buzz charges tax only once your team's tax details are on file.

## Add your team's tax details

Without tax details, the Taxes section shows **Tax details required** and its settings are locked. Tickets sell without tax, and your team is responsible for all tax and accounting obligations on those sales.

1. Open the event and choose **Registration** in the sidebar.
2. Under **Tax details required**, click **Add tax details**.
3. Enter the **Legal name**, the **Tax ID** (GSTIN, VAT number or equivalent) and the **Billing address**. All three are required.
4. Click **Save tax details**.

Tax details belong to the team, so they apply to every event it hosts. Only team Owners and Admins can add them. Other members see a note asking an Owner or Admin to do it.

## Set the tax for an event

1. Turn on **Charge tax on tickets**.
2. Under **Who pays the tax**, choose one:
   - **Participant.** Tax is added on top of the ticket price at checkout.
   - **Organiser.** Tax is included in the ticket price. Participants pay exactly the listed price.
3. Set the **Tax name**. Participants see it at checkout and on their booking. It defaults to GST.
4. Set the **Tax rate**, from 0 to 100%. It defaults to 18%.
5. Click **Save** at the top of the page, or press **Ctrl+S** (**⌘S** on a Mac). Click **Discard** to undo your changes.

Tax settings apply to new bookings. Existing bookings keep the tax they were charged.
