Sales Tax
If you charge sales tax, add your rate once and WaiverFile adds it to bookings at checkout. Tax shows as its own line in the cart, on receipts and in your sales tax report.
Add your tax rate
- Go to Bookings & payments › Sales Tax and click Add.
- Enter a name and the rate. The name is what guests see in their cart, for example "Denver sales tax". Enter the rate as a percent, like 8.81.
- Save. The rate is used for new bookings right away.
What gets taxed
- Activities, packages and add-ons are taxed at your rate.
- Event tickets are taxed unless you turn off Charge sales tax on tickets on the event, for example for a tax-exempt fundraiser.
- Memberships are taxed only if you check Charge tax on this plan on the plan.
You can have one active rate. It's based on your business location. To change it, edit the rate, or add a new one and click Make Default.
Not sure what to charge? Rules differ by state and city, and some activities are exempt. Check with your accountant or your state's tax department.
Reporting
The Sales tax report under Reports shows taxable sales and tax collected for any date range, ready to export for filing. See Booking and Sales Reports.
