Why am I being charged sales tax?
Doxy.me is required by law to charge and collect state sales tax from customers in certain states. When Doxy.me collects these state taxes, we remit the entire amount to the appropriate state taxing authorities on behalf of our customers. The amount and type of tax collected depends on your location, the type of product or service purchased and the rules of the state and local jurisdiction.
What is sales tax?
Sales tax is taxes charged on the sale of a product or service. In the US, these taxes may be assessed at the state, county, and municipal jurisdictional levels. Each jurisdiction categorizes Doxy.me products differently and may have different regulations that determine which products and services are subject to sales tax. While some US states do not charge state sales tax on cloud or SaaS services, they may still assess local taxes within certain jurisdictions within the state.
How are the US sales tax determined?
Taxation of our services is based on the billing address where our services are consumed. The billing address is to be determined by the user and provided to us. Doxy.me Inc. cannot determine this or provide advice. Please work with your own tax advisors to determine your appropriate billing address.
If your billing address information is not updated by September 5st 2022, Doxy.me Inc. will use the billing address on file. Since this may not be accurate for your organization, you should verify and update this information as soon as possible. In the absence of a complete address on your account, the system will default to using your postal code and then the IP Address of the user on the account.
What if I have additional tax questions?
Reach out to your personal tax advisor with additional tax questions. You should work with your tax and legal advisors to determine your appropriate billing address. Doxy.me does not offer tax advisory services. We are not legally able or willing to provide tax advice or guidance on specific situations.

What if my billing address is not in the United States?
The best thing you can do to remain compliant with your local tax laws is to update your billing address. This will ensure that the correct amount is applied when doxy.me starts collecting tax for your country. If you don't have a billing address on file then we'll have to use other methods like your IP address to determine your tax status.
Countries outside the US charge tax in the form of VAT (Value Added Tax) in the EU, GST (Goods and Services Tax) in Canada and many others. The correct tax will be applied based on your billing address. It's important that you update this and ensure it is right.
