Yes, sales tax is charged on your monthly Buzzsprout Subscription (when applicable). This article will clarify the details surrounding sales tax and your Buzzsprout payments.
Buzzsprout and Sales Tax
Every state has its own rules regarding how digital services are taxed. So, if your billing address is in one of the following jurisdictions, you’ll see an additional line item on your invoice for sales tax:
- Arizona
- Connecticut
- District of Columbia
- Hawaii
- Iowa
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- New York
- Ohio
- Pennsylvania
- Rhode Island
- South Carolina
- South Dakota
- Tennessee
- Texas
- Utah
- Washington
- West Virginia
Note: Whether or not you are charged sales tax depends on the billing address associated with your Buzzsprout account.
All prices on our website are before sales tax. If sales tax applies, it will be added to your invoice total (this includes any add-ons like Magic Mastering and Cohost AI).
What if my Organization is tax-exempt?
If your organization is exempt from sales tax (like a nonprofit or government entity), please email our success team (
support@buzzsprout.com) with the following information:
- Your organization name
- Your Buzzsprout account email
- A valid tax-exempt certificate for your state
Once we receive and verify your documentation, we’ll update your account to ensure sales tax is not charged moving forward.
Why is this changing?
As Buzzsprout has grown, we’ve hit thresholds that require us to collect sales tax in certain states. These are called economic nexus laws - basically, once we do enough business in a state, we have to start collecting tax there.
Note: If your billing address has changed and now you’re in a non-taxable jurisdiction, no problem. The owner of your Buzzsprout account can update billing information at any time by going to Settings > Subscription.
