How to calculate tax on Dropbox subscriptions

You may have to pay tax on your Dropbox subscription, depending on the billing zip code or country associated with your account. 

If you’re within a jurisdiction where you’re required to pay taxes, you’ll see the tax as a line item on your billing invoices and receipts.

How to calculate tax prior to purchase

You don’t need to type in payment details to view your estimated tax. To view your estimate:

1. Visit this page for Business accounts or this page for Plus or Professional accounts. 
2. Select the plan you’re thinking about purchasing. 
3. Scroll to the bottom, select your country, and type in your zip code. 
4. The price will automatically adjust, and you’ll be able to see a tax estimate under Order summary. 

Note: If you’re located in the EU or Switzerland, Dropbox prices include tax.

Does Dropbox offer tax exemptions?

Some non-profit or educational institutions can receive tax exemptions on Dropbox Business subscriptions. If you’re a Business team admin, contact support to see what your options are.

A Dropbox Business team can add an admin from another team to manage their own team. The new admin then becomes a "multi-team admin". The new admin, or "multi-team admin", will have all the capabilities of an admin from your own team, except:

• They can’t access the Billing or Help pages in the Admin console
• They can’t sign in to a team member’s account
