Tenth splits each day’s till into the six things Utah’s 10% charge names — admission, user fees, food, drink, merchandise, services — works out the tenth beside ordinary sales tax, and will not mark a period filed while any open day is unsplit.

The problem
Utah charges a sexually explicit business 10% of what it takes for admission, user fees, retail sales including food and drink, and any service — in addition to sales tax, with none of the sales tax exemptions. A sale that is exempt for sales tax is still in this base. A till that was never split by day turns month end into guesswork from a bank statement.
of amounts paid for admission, user fees, retail sales, food, beverages and any service at a sexually explicit business.
Utah Code 59-27-103 →The tax is assessed in addition to sales and use taxes, and sales tax exemptions do not apply to it.
Utah State Tax Commission →Filed electronically, due the last day of the month after the period; a weekend due date moves to the next business day.
Utah State Tax Commission →Not a reminder. Mark the return filed refuses, with the days listed, while any day the venue normally opens has no till split and no note that it was closed — or the period has not ended. A day’s split is refused unless its six buckets add up to the till. A filed period is frozen. There is no override.
How it works
Admission, user fees, food, drink, merchandise, services. They have to add up to the till, to the cent, or the day is not written down.
Each bucket’s takings and its 10%, the ordinary sales tax beside it at your own rates, and the due date on your filing frequency.
Once every open day is split. The return is still TC-62W on the Tax Commission’s own site; Tenth keeps the figure and the workpapers.
What it will never do
Takings by bucket per day is all the worksheet needs, and all Tenth holds.
Pricing
A tenth of your takings goes to the state. None of it goes to us.
One venue.
One venue, several managers cashing up.
Several venues under one owner.
Flat fee, billed monthly. Never a share of takings. Your bank statement says Tenth Software. Your licence key is on your screen as soon as the payment confirms.
Pay by card through Square, on Square’s own checkout page — we never see or store your card number. Or pay with bitcoin through our own bitcoin server. Either way you come back here, type your business name, and your licence key is on the screen — no email, no waiting on us.
Questions
Yes. The statute names food, prepared food and beverages alongside admission, user fees, merchandise and services.
Still taxed at 10%. Sales tax exemptions do not apply to this tax. Tenth keeps the exempt part in the base and shows it.
On the frequency the Tax Commission assigned you from your sales tax liability: monthly, quarterly or yearly. Pick it in Settings.
No. It is a worksheet that argues with you. The Tax Commission’s pages and the statute are the authority.
The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, on your screen as soon as the payment confirms: the checkout brings you back to our thank-you page, you type your business name and the key appears. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.
The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.
The month before last was split every open day and marked filed early. Last month adds up to a five-figure tenth — and two open days have no till split, so it cannot be marked filed until somebody finds those cash-ups.
