Taxes Index (Basecamp)
This policy explains how the company collects and remits taxes, including sales tax, VAT, and GST/HST, depending on customer location and applicable laws. Customers can update billing details, provide tax exemption documentation, or contact Support for assistance with tax charges or account updates.
Taxes!
Taxes are an important part of functional society. Where our products are taxable, we collect and remit consumption tax to governments at the local, state, and/or federal levels. If your billing address is in one of the following jurisdictions, you’ll see an additional line item on your invoice for sales tax or VAT. The subscription prices on our product websites are all exclusive of sales tax and VAT.
The tax rate and rules are determined by each jurisdiction and sometimes vary by whether you are using our products for business/commercial or personal purposes. As regulations change, we will update this list.
Jurisdictions we collect and remit taxes for
Within the US
Basecamp notes one of its applications is not subject to sales tax based on the email service exception. Include a similar section if that exception, or maybe others, applies to a product/service here.
We collect sales tax from [name(s) of product(s)/service(s)] customers based in:
list applicable states
[name of product/service] is not subject to sales tax in the US because of the Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA). Email service falls under the definition of "Internet access" under the ITFA.
Each US state has their own sales tax exemption rules. If your organization is tax-exempt, please share your state-specific tax exemption documentation with us. Because not all US federal exemptions are recognized by each state, an IRS tax exemption letter is not enough.
Within the EU
Consumer products implicate VAT collection, while business products do not. Adjust this section accordingly to specify which products/services are subject to VAT collection.
We collect VAT on any direct-to-consumer sales to EU-based customers. Some/All of our products are consumer products. If you are a customer with a VAT identification number, let us know and we will apply a reverse charge for VAT to your invoice.

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.
Yes. Upload a Word, PDF, or Markdown file and GitLaw will open it in the editor. You can review, edit, or chat with GitLaw about it the same way you would with any template from the library.
