About Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA) Taxes and Mailchimp

Things to know

Here are some things to know.

• All Mailchimp products and services are subject to tax.

How taxes work in Mailchimp

Any tax collected in Mailchimp is a consumption tax, also called a sales tax. Consumption tax is determined by the purchaser’s local tax requirements. We apply tax charges based on where we have identified your location. We do this using the primary contact address and/or other data you provide or that we collect based on your use of the services. Any tax that we collect is reported and paid to your local tax authority.

Exemption and self-assessment requirements by country

Some countries have regulations that allow businesses to manage their own tax requirements. This is called self-assessment. Businesses that opt out of tax collection in Mailchimp are responsible for self-assessing and reporting their own tax obligations. We verify Tax ID numbers to determine if your business qualifies for self-assessment. For more information about providing a Tax ID number or troubleshooting Tax ID validation, check out Add or Edit Your Tax ID Number.

We collect tax from these EMEA countries. Find your country to determine if self-assessment options are available for Mailchimp purchases and how to qualify.
