Tax Codes for Services

What are Tax Codes? Tax codes tell Stripe how to calculate taxes for your services. BuildStability automatically selects the correct tax code based on your service type, but you can override it if needed.

Automatic Tax Code Selection:

• Memberships → "Fitness Centers - Dues and Membership Fees" (txcd_50021001) • Packs → "Fitness Centers - Single Use Access Fees" (txcd_50021101) • Passes → "Fitness Centers - Single Use Access Fees" (txcd_50021101)
