This guide explains the procedure for creating events taking place in the city of Lausanne (as part of the Infomaniak ticketing system).

Introduction

• In accordance with the tax ordinance of the city of Lausanne, a tax is levied on the price of tickets, paid seats, and other surcharges, in particular for company events, balls, fairs, concerts, conferences, musical, literary, artistic, and sporting events, etc.
• Infomaniak's ticketing system is approved by the city of Lausanne, so you can create your ticketing system for any event in the city of Lausanne.
• The tax rate is 14%.
• You will need to check with the city of Lausanne to see if your event is taxable, non-taxable, or exempt...
  • The possibilities for exemption from this tax are exhaustively detailed in the tax assessment.
  • If your event is subject to tax, please note that the process will take several days, and the waiting time may be longer depending on the number of pending applications.
  • Pleasetake this waiting time into account when launching your ticketing!

Creating your event in Lausanne

The creation process will generally be the same as for any other event, but any information appearing on the ticket can no longer be modified once the validation request has been sent:

• The name of the event
• The date and time of the event (as well as the opening hours)
• The event location
• The prices
• Ticket templates

Therefore, ensure that these settings are properly defined before submitting the validation request.
