Envato Market collects tax on purchases in accordance with local tax laws in the countries where we are registered. This article explains how tax is applied, what appears on your invoice, and what to do if you're a registered business with a valid tax ID.
How is tax applied?
Tax is automatically calculated based on your billing address and, in some cases, your payment method at the time of purchase. The type of tax (e.g. VAT, GST, HST, QST, or PST) and rate applied will depend on your country or region.
How do I provide my tax ID to Envato?
You can add your tax ID (such as VAT, GST, or business number) in your Envato account settings.
- If the ID is valid, it will be saved and displayed on your invoices.
- If it’s invalid or incorrectly formatted, it will not be accepted. Please check the format and try again.
- If issues persist, we recommend contacting your local tax authority for assistance.
Important: Any updates to your tax ID will apply to your future invoices only and will not affect past purchases.
Where can I find my invoices?
All additional information regarding invoices can be found in the Buyer’s Guide. You will also be able to see invoices on your statement page, which can be accessed through your account settings.
What if I don’t provide a tax ID?
If you don’t provide a valid tax ID at the time of purchase, tax will be applied based on your billing address and local tax regulations.
