How are Taxes currently handled in the PodPlay system?

Configuration of Taxes in the PodPlay system requires you to inform your CSM of all the applicable City and State taxes that you intend to collect based on your club’s location
Please consult a tax expert for guidance on which revenue categories your business must collect and remit sales tax on per the state’s tax laws.
- Some examples of “revenue categories” are:
  - Standard reservations
  - Event signups
  - Memberships
  - Clinics
  - Coaching lessons
  - Food & drinks
  - Merchandise
- Depending on your location, some revenue categories may be subject to sales tax while others are not, OR different sales tax rates could apply to different categories.
It is your responsibility to file your sales tax returns and remit the collected sales tax to your city/state accordingly.
- Once again, we recommend working with a tax advisor in order to file correctly and on time.
Note: PodPlay is not a tax consultant.
- We are not responsible for ensuring that you collect and remit your all sales tax properly and in accordance with your state and city’s tax laws.

Front End - Customer Facing UX

Once you know your required sales tax information, please share it with your CSM. The system currently allows for a single tax rate to be added in the Customer purchase flow.
- Note: If multiple taxes are required for different revenue categories please share the the highest or most applicable tax rate for us to apply in the system with your PodPlay Customer Success Manager (CSM).
The CSM will map the highest tax against the App's UX/UI so that when your Customers make Reservations and Events purchases through the App, there will be an explicit line item showing the sales tax they are being charged as part of the purchase.

You can then download your transaction history report in the Purchase Page of the Dashboard, where sales tax will be included as a separate column.

When an Admin manually charges a Customer from the Dashboard, taxes are not added.
- As such, the Club is responsible for including sales tax in the charge if sales tax applies.
- Further, the Club’s responsible for including that sales tax collection in their city/state sales tax returns upon filing time.
- We recommend working with a tax advisor for assistance filing sales tax returns correctly and on time.
