Typeform pricing and taxes
All our prices are tax exclusive, therefore taxes will be added as a separate line item on your invoice. If you don’t see your billing country listed below, Typeform doesn't add taxes to your purchase price. It’s your responsibility as a consumer or business to pay any applicable taxes to your local government, as needed.
Some organizations and businesses might qualify for an exemption from paying sales tax. If you're currently receiving a charity or nonprofit discount you will not be automatically exempt from paying sales tax, and need to complete the exemption process based on your location. This is explained below.
United States
Typeform is required to charge sales tax in certain U.S. locations where we are registered, to comply with local laws. If your billing address is located in a region stated on the list below, you'll see the tax on your Typeform invoice starting on the effective date. This tax applies to all Typeform products.

Tax Rate
Local tax rates vary depending on your state, county, and city. Make sure your current Billing Details are up to date so that we can charge the correct tax rate.
Typeform may not assess tax in some locations or on some of its services. If you want to estimate your potential sales tax, the best way is to use an online sales tax calculator.
Tax Exemption
Some organizations and businesses may be exempt from sales tax. If you believe your organization qualifies for tax-exempt status, apply for tax exemption before you upgrade or renew your account. If you've already made a purchase and still need to provide a tax exemption certificate, you 60 days from date of purchase to apply for tax exemption.
Once your exemption status has been approved, future purchases will be exempt from tax where applicable.
If you're charged tax after your exemption status has been approved, please contact us.
