Arizona - Understanding Tax Collection

For events in Arizona, you’ll see a charge of up to 11.2% for Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax (“TPT”) on the Eventbrite fees. For detailed information, visit the Arizona Department of Revenue Transaction Privilege Tax website. Learn more about tax on Eventbrite fees.

IMPORTANT: In compliance with US tax laws, Eventbrite no longer collects Tax on Ticketing Fees for US events created after November 15, 2023. Learn more about Eventbrite’s tax collection in the US.

  • If you’ve been collecting tax in Arizona
  • If you or your event is tax-exempt

Under our Terms of Service, you allow Eventbrite to collect and remit tax on Eventbrite fees in jurisdictions where Eventbrite is legally required to do. Please note that you’re responsible for understanding all of your tax obligations. In some areas, taxing authorities (city, county and/or state) may impose separate taxes on the same transaction that Eventbrite does not collect.

If you’ve been collecting tax in Arizona

In most jurisdictions, Eventbrite’s collection of tax on the Eventbrite fees does not change your responsibility to collect tax on the amount you charge to your attendees. 

You’re still responsible to collect, remit, and report to the tax authorities the correct amount of tax due on the amounts you charge to your attendees. If you determine you need to charge tax, you can add tax on ticket sales

If you’re not sure if you need to charge tax on your ticket sales, please consult your tax advisor. Eventbrite can’t give you tax advice.

If you or your event is tax-exempt

Generally, and with very limited exceptions, Arizona doesn ’t provide an overall exemption from Transaction Privilege Tax (“TPT”). If you believe you’re exempt under Arizona Statute, send the below documents to tax-nonprofitorg@eventbrite.com: 

  1. Completed Transaction Privilege Tax Exemption Certificate 

  2. IRS Determination Letter

For more information on state specific tax exemptions, visit the Arizona Department of Revenue website.

TIP: If you’re sending tax exemption documentation to tax-nonprofitorg@eventbrite.com, your email must come from the email address of the main Eventbrite account holder in order for us to verify your identity.
