Lucid Software assesses sales tax in certain states in the United States. Lucid Software also assesses Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Some Canadian provinces also assess Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) and Provincial level Sales Tax (PST). Value-Added Tax (VAT) is assessed in the European Union, Norway, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Sales tax is applied based on the billing address of the sale.

This article goes over the sales tax rates and information for each country for which Lucid Software currently assesses sales tax - including GST, HST, PST, and VAT. Included in this article is Lucid’s address and applicable tax numbers. Read on to learn more.

Billing country

Australia

In certain cases, Australia requires non-resident entities selling digital services to consumers located in Australia to collect and remit a GST of 10%. GST must be collected by the non-resident entity when sales are made to customers who are not GST registered, or business to consumer (B2C) supply. GST is generally not chargeable to Australian business customers with an active Australian Business Number (ABN) who are GST-registered, or business to business (B2B) supply.

In February 2021, Lucid began assessing GST to B2C customers with billing addresses located in Australia. GST will be assessed as a percentage of the subscription and then added to the total cost. If you have an active ABN and are GST-registered, you can add your 11-digit ABN to your billing account details and GST will be excluded from your next invoice.

Canada

If you are located in Canada, GST—which is a federal sales tax—is assessed at a rate of 5% on business to consumer supply (B2C). GST is generally not chargeable to Canadian business customers with an active GST registration number for business to business (B2B) supply.

Lucid charges GST to B2C customers with a billing address located in Canada. If you are GST-registered, you can add your registration ID to your billing account details and GST will be excluded from your next invoice.

Additional provincial sales taxes may also apply depending on your tax registration status and billing address.

New Brunswick – 15%
