If your business is based in the United States, you may be subject to state sales tax on your Mailchimp payments.
In this article, you'll learn how sales tax affects your billing if you live in a taxable U.S. state.
Sales tax for software services, like Mailchimp, varies from state to state. If a state that we have a presence in recognizes any of our products as taxable, we’re required to charge sales tax.
Right now, we charge sales tax on Mailchimp accounts where the primary contact address is in one of these states:
Certain charitable, religious, scientific, or educational organizations may be exempt from sales tax. All states have different requirements and qualifications for nonprofit tax exemption. If you currently receive Mailchimp's nonprofit discount, we can’t automatically exempt you from paying sales tax without the proper documentation.
If you believe your organization should be tax-exempt, you'll need to send the documentation required by your state to Mailchimp. Each state has its own requirements for proof of tax exemption, so be sure you take the time to submit the correct documentation. In general, states don't accept your 501(c) letter from the IRS as proof of exemption.
For nonprofit organizations, the state of Colorado requires you to submit a Colorado-issued Sales Tax Exemption Certificate (DR0160) and, in some cases, a completed City Affidavit of Exempt Sale certificate.
Some cities in Colorado require additional forms before tax exemptions are made available. If your organization is in Boulder, Parker, or Denver, you'll need to submit a completed City Exemption Certificate.
