Tax on MailPoet.com Purchases

Tax (known in different regions as VAT, GST, or consumption tax) may be included in your MailPoet.com purchases. This guide will answer common questions about your MailPoet.com subscriptions and these consumption-based taxes.

Tax on Your Purchases

Our services are subject to consumption-based taxes in many jurisdictions. Depending on your location, this can appear as Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods & Services Tax (GST), or Consumption Tax (CT).
When making a purchase on MailPoet.com, you are charged the relevant tax based on your billing address.

The tax will be displayed as an independent line item on the checkout screen. You can also find the tax charge listed on your invoice.

Businesses Not Subject to Tax

Tax-registered businesses may be exempt from paying consumption-based taxes. As a tax-registered business, you can enter a valid VAT or GST ID to avoid being charged tax on your purchases and renewals. You will be charged tax if you have not entered tax details into our system.
EU-based users can check the VAT Information Exchange System (VIES) FAQ, which answers common questions. Users based in other locations should check their locale’s specific consumption-tax rules. As an Ireland-based company, we must charge VAT on all transactions in Ireland, including those to VAT-registered businesses.
Add your eligible tax details using the steps described in the section below to avoid being charged tax on your next purchase or renewal.

Other Tax-Exempt Customers 

Some customers or organizations qualify to make sales tax-exempt purchases. Tax exemptions are granted at the state or country level. Please contact your tax advisor or your state or local taxing authority to determine if your organization qualifies for sales tax exemption.
If you have a valid tax exemption that you wish to apply to your MailPoet.com purchases, you can contact us to submit your documentation. Your proof of tax exemption should include the following:
  • Name of your exempt organization.
  • Your tax exemption documentation.
  • Any additional information required by your government.
