How Are Taxes Collected

Transparent for Your Customers

Sales Tax is added at checkout, similar to other online retailers, so buyers know exactly what they are paying for.

Protecting Profits For Organizers

Our goal is for organizers to keep 100% of the Net Ticket Price. Because tax is added on top of the ticket price, the organizer’s core ticket revenue is never eaten up by unexpected tax deductions

Automated Accuracy

Our system uses real-time, automated location data based on the customers shipping address to ensure buyers are charged the exact amount.

Protecting Profits For Organizers

We Collect, We Remit, You Relax.

  • We Collect It: As buyers check out, the tax is instantly separated
  • We Hold It: The tax money never touches the organizer’s bank account, meaning no messy accounting or accidentally spending government funds.
  • We Pay The State: Black Soul Summer handles the state filings and sends the money directly to the Department of Revenue.
  • You Report: We send you one document (1099-K) that reports your earnings for the year through Black Soul Summer.

Tax Disclaimer: Form 1099-K reports your total gross sales you generally only owe taxes on your actual profits. Keep track of your event expenses (venue rentals, talent, marketing) so you can deduct them from this total. We are your ticketing partners, not CPAs, so please share this form with a tax professional to ensure you are writing off your expenses and reporting your income correctly.

Don’t Risk Doing It Alone

Black Soul Summer Is Here to Help!

When you sell tickets on a basic platform or website that doesn’t automatically collect and remit state sales tax, the legal burden falls entirely on your shoulders. State revenue departments actively monitor local event listings, and if you are audited for failing to collect the required taxes, you will have to pay those missing funds directly out of your own pocket. Even worse, states aggressively tack on steep penalties and compounding interest for non-compliance. By hosting your ticketing on Black Soul Summer, you are completely shielded from this liability; we handle the government compliance so you can focus entirely on packing the house.
