What is Taxes?

Taxes on Trybe let organizers collect sales tax on tickets the way their jurisdiction requires and keep the amounts apart from revenue. You define tax components at the organization level, for example GST and QST for a Québec organizer or VAT elsewhere, each with its rate and your registration number; every event inherits them unless you set an override for that event. At checkout Trybe calculates each component on the discounted ticket subtotal, never on the service fee, and shows it as a named line under the subtotal, then on the buyer's receipt. Tax is added on top of your ticket price, so you receive the ticket price plus the tax you configured. Banking tracks tax collected per event alongside revenue and pays it out as a separate tax payout, so remitting it does not mean untangling one bank transfer. A CSV export gives your accountant orders, tickets and tax per event or for the whole organization. Free tickets and 100% promo codes carry no tax. Free for organizers hosting on Trybe.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add tax components

    In Organization settings, add each tax with its rate and registration number, such as GST and QST.

  2. 2

    Override per event

    Events inherit your settings. Open Tax settings on an event to use different components for that event only.

  3. 3

    Tax shows at checkout

    Trybe calculates each component on the discounted ticket price and shows it as a named line, then on the receipt.

  4. 4

    Pay out and remit

    Banking tracks tax collected per event. Pay it out separately from revenue and export CSV for your accountant.

Questions organizers ask

Can Trybe charge GST and QST on my tickets?

Yes. Add GST and QST as tax components with their rates and your registration numbers in Organization settings. Each is calculated on the discounted ticket price and shown as its own line at checkout and on receipts.

Is tax charged on the service fee?

No. Tax is calculated on the ticket subtotal after discounts and never on the service fee the buyer pays. A 100% promo code brings tax and fees to zero.

Can I set different taxes for one event?

Yes. Events inherit the organization's tax settings, and any event can carry its own override, useful for an event in another province or country.

Who receives the tax collected?

You do. Tax is added on top of your ticket price, tracked per event in Banking and paid out to you as a separate tax payout so you can remit it to the tax authority.

Does the buyer see the tax?

Yes. Checkout shows Subtotal, Discount, Service fees, Tax with its named components and Total, and the receipt shows the same breakdown.

Can I export tax figures for my accountant?

Yes. Export orders, tickets and tax as CSV per event or across your organization, and use the Payout history to match tax payouts with your bank statements.
