Former Google Domains users

If your Google Domains subscription had a tax exemption, you'll need to request an exemption again from Squarespace before your domain renews. Your exemption status didn’t migrate with your domain.

US sales tax locations and exemption information

We determine your tax location by the billing address entered with your payment method information. If you've received an email about a sales tax charge, review your billing information to ensure that it's correct.

If you have more questions about taxes, we suggest speaking with a tax advisor.

Below is a list of cities and states where we apply taxes to applicable subscriptions. If your business is exempt from US sales tax, and your site is active on a billing plan, submit an exemption request here. Ensure you attach the appropriate sales tax exemption forms for your location and business, and that they are dated within a year of the time we receive them. The one-year timeframe doesn't apply if your state provides an exemption certificate that doesn't need to be filled out. 

If you need Squarespace’s US address when completing a tax form, it's:

225 Varick Street, 12th Floor, New York, NY 10014.

Tip: If you're submitting an exemption request for multiple sites, you don't need to submit a request for each site. You can list all the sites in the same request.

Find the sales tax exemption form on your city or state's tax authority website:

• Arizona
• Chicago, Illinois
• Connecticut
• Denver, Colorado
• Hawaii
• Iowa
• Kentucky
• Lakewood, Colorado

After our billing specialists review your information, we’ll respond to your exemption request. We can’t apply tax exemptions to trial or expired sites.

If you change your billing information in the future, you’ll need to submit another exemption request.
