This guide explains how VAT works within GivePanel Events and how it applies to ticket pricing. VAT is configured per ticket within the Items section of your event.
Where to Set VAT
Go to Campaigns > Event Registration
Open your event
Navigate to Items
Create or edit a ticket
Enable VAT Amount
You can then enter the VAT percentage (for example, 20%).
How VAT Works
When enabled:
The VAT percentage is displayed on the ticket
The VAT rate applies to that specific ticket type
VAT is calculated based on the ticket price
VAT is configured individually per ticket.
You can apply VAT to some ticket types and not others.
Example
If a ticket price is £50 and VAT is set to 20%:
The VAT amount will be calculated from the ticket price
The VAT rate will be displayed on the ticket
Important Considerations
VAT is applied at ticket level, not event level
VAT handling should be reviewed internally before launch
Stripe will process the total ticket amount charged
GivePanel Events does not determine whether VAT should be charged - this must be confirmed by your organisation.
Best Practice
Confirm VAT treatment with finance before setting ticket prices
Test a paid ticket before going live
Keep VAT settings consistent across similar ticket types
