Taxes, VAT, GST

This page serves as a guide to our policies, and nothing here supersedes our Terms of Service or Supplier Hosting Agreement, or should be construed as legal advice.

Customers:

All prices listed on our website don't include sales tax, value-added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST), or any other government-required taxes or fees. Currently, TensorDock users are responsible for paying all applicable Taxes relating to any use of our services.

We expect all users in countries that collect VAT and GST to provide proper business tax identification, such as an VAT or GST ID, so that we may apply the "reverse charge mechanism". This means that the buyer is responsible for calculating and paying VAT or GST.

The reverse charge mechanism is only applicable to businesses and not consumers. As such, we cannot serve users without a registered VAT or GST ID in countries that collect VAT or GST, since we do not currently have the capacity to handle it. We are planning to add automatic VAT and GST functionality as soon as possible so that we can continue to serve consumers worldwide.

Keep in mind this is not applicable to the US, as the US does not collect VAT or GST at the federal or state level. US businesses may opt to provide their EIN and have it appear on invoices, but are not required to do so.

Hosts:

If you're a US host, we require your Social Security Number (SSN) so that we can issue you a 1099 and report your earnings to the IRS, in case your income through TensorDock is higher than the $600/year threshold.
