In certain countries, providing a tax number is required to avoid being charged taxes on invoices. Businesses can add their tax number to their billing information in Brevo.

How does Brevo handle taxes?

Brevo collects consumption taxes, which apply to the purchase of goods and services and are based on the location of the consumer or buyer. These include:

Value-Added Tax (VAT), which is applied in many countries around the world, primarily in Europe but also in various regions outside of Europe.
Goods and Services Tax (GST), which is applied in countries such as Canada, Australian, India, and Colombia.
State Sales Tax, which is applied in U.S. states.

Brevo uses the address provided in your billing information to determine your location. If required by your local tax authority, applicable taxes will appear on your invoices.

All Brevo products and services are subject to taxation, and any collected taxes are reported and paid to your local tax authority.

💡 Good to know

Brevo holds a fiscal number in the countries where tax collection is required at checkout, which means we are legally authorized to collect taxes from entities in those countries.
