In most cases qualifying for exemption requires going through an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/charities-non-profits\/applying-for-tax-exempt-status\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">application process<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, tax exemption is often more complicated than just being free to ignore tax laws. It may only affect certain income or transactions and often still needs to be recorded for tax filing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, some organizations may receive <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/best-tax-breaks-online-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tax breaks<\/a> rather than outright exemptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live outside the United States, the process and qualifications will differ. Therefore, we recommend consulting official government documentation to learn more about the regulations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_You_Might_Need_to_Implement_Tax_Exemptions\"><\/span>Why You Might Need to Implement Tax Exemptions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iStock-1300822108.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iStock-1300822108.jpg\" alt=\"African-American student doing online learning\" class=\"wp-image-38309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iStock-1300822108.jpg 724w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iStock-1300822108-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iStock-1300822108-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iStock-1300822108-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iStock-1300822108-156x104.jpg 156w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/iStock-1300822108-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Educational_institutions\"><\/span>Educational institutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common reason a membership would be tax-exempt is if it applies to a qualifying educational setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your membership provides <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/sell-courses-on-wordpress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"educational material\">educational material<\/a>, you and your members are probably<em> not<\/em> tax-exempt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if a qualifying educational institution wants to integrate your membership into its syllabus, it <em>may<\/em> be able to do so without having to pay taxes on it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, this depends on your local and federal laws. Still, the organization in question should know its status and be able to provide some proof that it qualifies for tax exemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Offering_tax-free_membership_fees\"><\/span>Offering tax-free membership fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another instance where you may want to activate tax exemption is to <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/underpricing-membership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">simplify your pricing<\/a> by not charging tax to your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This setup may come with extra bookkeeping because you're ultimately responsible for the sales tax. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, it would allow you to charge your customers a flat price. You could even use it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/membership-site-sales-promotions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"limited-time promotion\">limited-time promotion<\/a>. This is an effective strategy often used by furniture retailers and automotive dealers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, know that turning off tax calculations without being tax-exempt will put the burden of tracking and paying taxes on you. In most cases, it's easier to enable automatic tax calculations unless you have a good reason not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Withholding tax from specific customers\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to withhold tax from certain customers, you can <strong>make a copy of their memberships<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This way, clients with tax-exempt status can sign up for the tax-free version of the membership while other clients use the regular version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_Your_Memberships_Tax-Exempt_2_Methods\"><\/span>How to Make Your Memberships Tax-Exempt (2 Methods)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, activating tax exemption in MemberPress is super easy.
