taxes

This is not only for drupal developers so please pass it along, but according to FAQ #10 it seems to apply directly to all of us as long as you are in Massachusetts.

In order to try to collaborate and keep information available we ask that you utilize mass-it.org as a resource to discuss these issues since this has affects far beyond the drupal community!

Is it possible to charge tax for event registration fees?

During Drupalcon Szeged, we spent a lot of time talking about how to handle VAT. Unfortunately I have only a slightly better idea of VAT today as I did before I left for DrupalCon. I would like some input from people in the community who work with VAT on a daily basis.

I'd like to try and answer the following.

1. What is VAT
2. How does it work
3. How should VAT be handled by ecommerce companies inside and outside Europe

Using this information we should be able to support VAT with Drupals commerce systems.
