Sales tax
## What is sales tax?
Sales tax is a government-imposed tax on the sale of goods and services. Depending on your location, it may apply to purchases like memberships, content, or physical goods on Passes.
## Does Passes charge sales tax?
Only when required by law.
If sales tax applies to your purchase, it is added to your total and shown before you complete checkout.
## How sales tax appears on receipts
- Physical goods receipts show the exact tax amount collected.
- Processing fees are listed separately and are not combined with sales tax.
- If the same tax applies to multiple items, it may show as one line.
- If different taxes apply to different items, they may appear as separate lines, though this is rare.
## Who pays sales tax?
As the buyer, you are responsible for any required sales tax.
When Passes collects sales tax, Passes sends it directly to the appropriate tax authority.
If sales tax is not collected at checkout but is legally required in your area, you may need to pay it directly.
## Why am I being charged sales tax now?
Tax laws can change. If your area has a new requirement, Passes will collect and add sales tax at checkout going forward.
## Is sales tax included in the price I see?
Not always. Sales tax is typically added at checkout alongside any processing fees. You will see the full total before you pay.
## Creators: what to know about taxes
Creators are responsible for understanding and managing taxes on their sales.
Passes may deduct applicable taxes and fees before paying out your share of Net Consideration, which is your total sales minus fees, taxes, and processing costs.
