The system has been designed to support only one selected tax rate (e.g., VAT). This decision is based on the following considerations:
Services related to event organization are subject to a fixed tax rate determined by the jurisdiction in which the event takes place. This applies regardless of whether the participant is a local or international entity.
For on-site events, there is no situation that qualifies as an export of services. Therefore, it is not possible to apply both a standard VAT rate and a reverse charge ("non-taxable") rate simultaneously when selling tickets.
Other tax rates typically apply to goods, such as books (in Poland, VAT is 5%), and additional services, such as catering or accommodation (8% VAT in Poland). However, it's important to note that the intermediary sale of such services is subject to the standard rate (23% VAT in Poland).
These regulations make it nearly impossible to justify supporting multiple tax rates at the level of a registration system.

The current version has been developed with the goal of simplifying both configuration and day-to-day use.
