Because ClickBank is considered the final retailer/reseller for all products sold through ClickBank, it is our responsibility to collect and remit various types of taxes based on the customer's location. ClickBank automatically collects and remits taxes for jurisdictions in which ClickBank is legally required to do so. In addition to taxes collected due to our corporate status or "nexus," here is more information about tax requirements in specific jurisdictions.
Value Added Tax (VAT) is calculated differently from other taxes. Standard taxes are added to the total cost of a product before ClickBank's portion is calculated, but VAT is added after ClickBank's portion is calculated.
For example, if a product sells for $100, and a sales tax of 10% is applied, the total price is $110, and the ClickBank portion is (.075 * $110) + $1 = $9.25. If the same product is subject to 10% VAT instead, the ClickBank portion is (.075 * $100) + $1 = $8.50.
Unless otherwise specified by the state, the tax rates apply to all product types, and shipping & handling is taxed.
