INTRODUCTION
Feature Summary: Apply a tax rate to an event category so CourtReserve adds or includes tax on event fees, based on how the tax rate was configured in Settings > Billing Settings > Taxes.
Use Cases:
Apply local sales tax to clinics, socials, round robins, or other event categories

PREREQUISITES
NAVIGATION
Log in to the admin dashboard.
Click Settings > Event Settings > Event Categories.
Locate the event category you want to update and click Edit.
Scroll down to the Tax Rate field.
SETTINGS
Tax Rate - Click the field and select a tax rate to apply to this event category. CourtReserve adds or includes the tax based on how the tax rate was configured in Settings > Billing Settings > Taxes. The default setting is no tax rate selected.
Click Save once you've selected a tax rate. Repeat these steps for each event category that requires tax.
Go to the Tax Rate heading. Click the field and select a tax option. Click Save. Repeat the steps for other categories.
ADMIN PERSPECTIVE
On the Event Categories table, the Tax column shows the tax rate assigned to each event category.
When registering a player for an event, CourtReserve calculates the tax and factors it into the Subtotal column on the Drop-In Registration screen.
For example: a Beginners Clinic with a $25.00 Price and a 5% tax rate shows $26.25 in the Subtotal column, with a Due amount of $26.25.
USER PERSPECTIVE
On the member portal, whether the tax shows as a separate line item or is already factored into the price depends on how the tax rate was configured in Settings > Billing Settings > Taxes.
For example: here's how it works with a 5% tax rate set to Add Tax To Item Price:
Base event fee (before tax): $25.00
Tax portion (5%): $1.25
Total price (with tax added): $26.25
The member sees the Subtotal ($25.00) and Tax ($1.25) listed separately at checkout, with a Total Due of $26.25.
