State Sales Tax

Depending on where your company is located, as reported during the checkout process, you may see sales tax added to your billing statement or invoice. Sales Tax laws for SaaS very by state and sometimes have caveats to their application. For example, in some states, SaaS can only be taxed if there is a downloadable aspect in order to use the product. Other states have exemptions for business use and others have exemptions for personal use.
