Use Regional when you already have a tax or VAT registration number that belongs in your studio records. Studio Operations does not decide whether you need a registration.
Add the registration details
- Look at the left sidebar in Studio Operations.
- At the very bottom of the sidebar, click the Settings gear icon. The Settings drawer opens from the right.
- Click Regional.
- Find Sales tax or VAT number.
- Enter the official registration number only if a tax authority issued one to you.
- In Where you are registered, enter the state, province or country that issued it.
- Scroll to the bottom of the drawer and click Save changes.
Do not enter a Social Security number or another personal identifier in the registration-number field. If you are not registered, leave both fields blank.
This is separate from Sales tax checkout setup
Settings → Sales tax has a different job. Its Where you collect card uses the private business address stored under Settings → You. Where Farbase has official government sales-tax data, checkout uses that data. Where official data is unavailable, Sales tax can show a declared-rate card instead.
If your state has no official Farbase tax data and you have not declared a rate, checkout to a buyer in your own state stays unavailable rather than guessing. Saving a registration number under Regional does not by itself make checkout tax-ready. See Set up Sales tax and declare a rate.
For country, currency and measurements, use Change your country, currency or measurement units.
For sale documents that use stored transaction information, start with What is sale paperwork?.
