Events in Lausanne

This guide explains the procedure to follow for creating events taking place in the city of Lausanne.

The city of Lausanne imposes an entertainment tax and therefore imposes certain conditions when creating events held in venues.

Infomaniak's ticketing system is approved by the city of Lausanne, so you can create your ticketing for any event in the city of Lausanne.

General Information

In accordance with the tax decree of the municipality of Lausanne, a tax is levied on the price of tickets, paid seats, and other supplements, notably on the occasion of company evenings, balls, fairs, concerts, conferences, musical, literary, artistic, and sporting events, etc.

The rate of the tax levied is 14%. The possibilities for exemption from this tax are exhaustively indicated in the tax decree.

For more information, please consult the City of Lausanne website on this subject

Creating Your Event in Lausanne

The creation will generally proceed in the same way as for any other event, but any information appearing on the ticket cannot 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 of the doors)
• The location of the event
• The rates
• The ticket templates

Therefore, please ensure that these parameters are well defined before submitting the validation request.

Validation Request and Waiting for Decision

Once the setup of your event is complete, you can request authorization from the city of Lausanne.

Event Status

Taxable events clearly indicate the status that will be updated as soon as your event is validated.
