Digital VAT/GST or Sales Tax on digital services
has been introduced in more than 40 countries around the world. In some
countries it is applied to both private individuals (B2C) as well as
customers registered as businesses/legal entities (B2B).
All prices
listed on our site are in US Dollars and exclude any applicable VAT/GST which will
be added during the checkout process.
For customers in the countries or US States
listed on this page, FastSpring will charge VAT/GST on digital goods during the checkout process. For all new one-off transactions and new subscriptions, our order process is conducted by our online
reseller Bright Market, LLC dba FastSpring. FastSpring is the Merchant of Record for all our orders and are
responsible for issuing the VAT/GST invoices which you may require for
tax purposes.
US Sales Tax Exemption
If a US customer is buying on behalf of an organization that is exempt
from paying state and local sales taxes, FastSpring can refund the
sales tax after the purchase has been completed. At this time, there is
no way to prevent the sales tax from being collected on the order
initially.
Customers can email a copy of their tax exemption certificate or other supporting paperwork issued by the state government to
orders@fastspring.com
along with their order reference / order ID, and our support team will
refund the sales tax back to the original payment account.
Adding your VAT/GST Number during Checkout
If you're eligible for a VAT/GST exclusion, you can click the "Enter VAT ID" link during the checkout process to enter your VAT details and exempt the transaction from the charge. See the image below to find where that link is (marked with a red box).
VAT/GST Refund
If you believe that you have been incorrectly charged for Sales Tax/VAT/GST or forgot to include your VAT/GST number during the checkout process, please contact FastSpring directly at
orders@fastspring.com with the
order reference / ID and the valid
VAT ID or GST ID and they will be able to verify your claim and issue a VAT refund to your original payment method if you are eligible.
