How to calculate tax on Dropbox subscriptions
The information in this article applies to all Dropbox customers unless otherwise specified.
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.
