How to set tax rates in First Class

Tax rates in First Class relate to level pricing.

Some counties have tax rules where "education" is considered tax-free. 

Lessons can sometimes be classed as education, therefore in some countries, your lessons can be tax-free.

For example, in swimming, learn-to-swim classes may be tax-free but squad classes are taxed at normal rates.

This is why we allow you to set tax rates on a level basis.

To set the under-level pricing, go to Manage Payments and click on Level pricing.

In your level pricing, you can nominate a tax amount for each level.

This will then apply to the enrolments for that class.

Our tax is always inclusive, so your pricing should be based on the final price including the tax.

Eg. If your lessons cost $100 inclusive of tax and the tax rate is 15% the inclusive amount would be 13.04

Inclusive tax formula

Inclusive amount x tax % divided by 100 + tax %

Eg. 100 x 15% divided by 100 + 15% = 15/115= 13.04
