What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to reimburse Aira Fitness for taxes under specific circumstances. This reimbursement is triggered if taxes are assessed against Aira Fitness based on their licensing of the System and Marks to the franchisee.
The amount due is the actual amount of taxes assessed. This payment is due upon demand from Aira Fitness. This means that if the relevant taxing authority assesses taxes on Aira Fitness due to the franchise agreement, Aira Fitness can then pass those tax obligations on to the franchisee.
This type of pass-through tax obligation is not uncommon in franchising, as the franchisor's revenue is directly tied to the franchisee's operation. Prospective Aira Fitness franchisees should understand that this is a potential cost in addition to the standard fees and expenses outlined in the FDD. It is important to budget for such a contingency and to seek clarification from Aira Fitness regarding the types of taxes that could be assessed and passed on to the franchisee.
