37signals and Taxes
We are required to collect and remit sales tax in a number of jurisdictions.

Taxes!

Taxes are an important part of functional society. Where our products are taxable, we collect and remit consumption tax to governments at the local, state, and/or federal levels. If your billing address is in one of the following jurisdictions, you’ll see an additional line item on your invoice for sales tax or VAT. The subscription prices on our product websites are all exclusive of sales tax and VAT.

The tax rate and rules are determined by each jurisdiction and sometimes vary by whether you are using our products for business/commercial or personal purposes. As regulations change, we will update this list.

Jurisdictions we collect and remit taxes for

Within the US

We collect sales tax from Basecamp, Highrise, Campfire, and Backpack customers based in:

  • Alaska (only certain jurisdictions charge sales tax)
  • Arizona
  • Chicago (Illinois)
  • Connecticut
  • District of Columbia
  • Hawaii
  • Iowa
  • Kentucky
  • Massachusetts
  • New Mexico
  • Ohio
  • Pennsylvania
  • Rhode Island
  • South Carolina
  • South Dakota
  • Tennessee
  • Texas
  • Utah
  • Washington
  • West Virginia

HEY is not subject to sales tax in the US because of the Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA). Email service falls under the definition of "Internet access" under the ITFA.

Each US state has their own sales tax exemption rules. If your organization is tax-exempt, please share your state-specific tax exemption documentation with us. Because not all US federal exemptions are recognized by each state, an IRS tax exemption letter is not enough.

Within the EU

We collect VAT on any direct-to-consumer sales to EU-based customers. Most of our applications are business products but HEY is a consumer product. If you are a HEY customer with a VAT identification number, let us know and we will apply a reverse charge for VAT to your invoice.
