## Performance Location

A performance location refers to the specific place where an event or admission takes place. This could be a venue, for example.

Taxes can vary significantly based on the performance location. Because of this, you must provide performance location addresses when selling tickets. The [integration guide](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-for-tickets/integration-guide.md) provides more information on how to set up performance locations.

### Tax calculation

To accurately calculate taxes for events, you must provide performance location addresses when selling tickets. [Request access](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-for-tickets/overview.md#tax_events_and_ticketing_interest_form) to this preview feature to enable tax calculations for events.

The business address and customer address remain necessary to account for [reverse charges](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/zero-tax.md#reverse-charges), for example.

## Tax compliance and reporting

Different jurisdictions have unique tax implications for ticket sales. Our system enables automatic tax calculations for various locations.

Stripe Tax offers [various reports](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/reports.md) to help you [file and remit taxes](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/filing.md).

## Integration with Stripe and third-party payment flows

Stripe Tax works for ticket sales with existing Stripe API payment integrations. Through our APIs, you can calculate the taxes owed based on the provided performance location.

## Tax product tax codes

Stripe Tax offers [14 unique product tax codes](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/tax-codes.md?type=events#all-tax-codes) for various types of tickets. However, you can’t use them as the default product tax code. For ticket sales, use `txcd_20030000`, `General - Services` as the default code.
