Invoices, Taxes, and VAT for Services

Purpose

This article explains why our invoices do not include taxes or VAT for services, what documentation we can provide, and when taxes do apply to our offerings.

Services and Taxes

Our invoices for services do not include taxes or VAT.

• We provide professional services.

• In the United States, services are generally not subject to sales tax or VAT.

• Because of this, no taxes are added to service invoices.

• We do not withhold or collect taxes on services.

Tax Documentation We Can Provide

We can provide tax identification documentation upon request.

• We can provide our federal tax identification using a W-9 form.

• The W-9 is the correct document used in the United States to share tax identification information.

• This documentation supports your internal accounting or compliance needs.

• Providing this documentation does not change the tax treatment of our services.

Products and Taxes

Taxes may apply to certain products.

• Taxes are applied to product purchases where required by law.

• This includes digital products such as Breakthrough applications and programs.

• Product taxes are calculated and displayed separately from service invoices.

• Services and products are always itemized clearly to avoid confusion.

Key Distinction to Keep in Mind

Services and products are treated differently for tax purposes.

• Services are not taxed and do not include VAT or sales tax.

• Products may be taxed depending on the jurisdiction and product type.

• Invoices clearly reflect this distinction.

This structure ensures clarity, compliance, and consistency across all invoices and contracts.
