Overview
RepeatMD makes sales tax compliance straightforward for your practice, whether you're offering treatments or packages. Our platform partners with Avalara to ensure accurate tax calculation based on your services and your patients' location.
How Sales Tax Works in RepeatMD
Sales Tax only applies to in-app purchases: Sales tax is calculated only on treatments and packages purchased directly through the RepeatMD app.
Review item settings carefully: Proper tax classification starts with selecting the right attributes for each item.
You don't need to file anything: RepeatMD automatically handles collection and remittance.
Setting Up Sales Tax in the Admin Panel
To ensure proper tax handling, you must assign tax attributes to each treatment or package you sell. The attributes are:
Requires a Medical License to Administer
Is Prescription Drug
Always Tax-Exempt
Always Taxable
Decide For Me
You'll find these settings when creating or editing a treatment or package in your App Builder.
Pro Tip: Use these checkboxes to reflect how the service is classified from a medical or compliance standpoint.
RepeatMD Assigns a Tax Code Automatically
Our system assigns an official tax code based on the attributes you select.
These codes determine how tax is applied based on how the service is classified and your practice's location.
Transaction Sent to Avalara
When a patient purchases a treatment or package through the app, our system sends Avalara the following information:
The item's assigned tax code
Your practice location
The patient's location

How Avalara Determines Sales Tax
Avalara evaluates this information to determine whether tax applies.
It considers:
State-specific marketplace facilitator laws
Economic nexus thresholds (based on your sales volume in that state)
The assigned tax code from the item setup
If tax is required, Avalara calculates the correct rate based on location and classification.
Tax is Applied at Checkout
If the treatment or package is taxable, the correct tax amount is displayed to the patient at checkout.
RepeatMD collects and sends sales tax for in-app purchases, keeping your practice compliant with no extra work.
