How to add tax to Member Plans

When creating your Member Plans, you may want to add a tax e.g. VAT if you're in the EU. Or perhaps you simply want to add a fee of some kind on top of your pricing.

The article below is NOT tax advice. We strongly recommend you speak with an attorney and/or accountant to decide the best strategy for collecting and paying your taxes.

Adding tax/fees to Member Plans

Follow these simple steps to add tax or a fee to any plan:

1. In your Member Plan settings, turn on Tax/Fee %:
   
2. Then, enter the percentage tax or fee you want to add on top of your Member Plan's Payment Amount:
Just enter a number (e.g. 7, 6.5, 0.9, etc); don't enter a % symbol.


3. Feel free to turn on Tax/Fee Description as well to add additional context for members about what the fee is:
   This description will be shown when members are joining this plan and will also appear in each of their invoices as a line item.
4. That's it! After you create your plan, whenever someone joins it, they will be charged this new tax/fee and shown your tax/fee description if you enabled it.
   
   You can always edit the tax/fee (or description) in the future, but the new amount will only apply to new people who join the plan.
5. If needed, we've put together a few recommendations about how to collect taxes across multiple jurisdictions.

The MemberSpace & Stripe transaction fees are always charged based on the total amount your customer pays (including your Tax/Fee).
