Sales Tax

Tax on Your Purchases

Omeka.net software as a service plans and add-ons are subject to consumption-based taxes in many jurisdictions. Depending on your location, this can appear as Value Added Tax (VAT), Goods & Services Tax (GST), or Consumption Tax (CT).

When you purchase an Omeka.net plan or service, you are charged the relevant tax based on your billing address.

The tax will be displayed as an independent line item on the checkout screen when you purchase, upgrade, or renew your plan.

Businesses Not Subject to Tax

Non-US tax-registered businesses may be exempt from paying consumption-based taxes. As a tax-registered business, please check the “Add tax ID” box to input a valid VAT or GST id and avoid being charged tax on your purchases. You will be charged tax if you have not entered tax details into our system.
