Sales or Value added tax (VAT)

With Dotted's group buying model, customers benefit from inheriting Dotted's tax settings, which offers distinct advantages.

Brazil

By procuring AWS services through Dotted-Brazil, a São Paulo-incorporated entity, customers are required to pay sales tax or VAT on digital goods or Platform as a Service, such as AWS. Consequently, customers' tax settings are automatically adjusted to the standard rate of 13.83%, as established for AWS services in Brazil, as specified in the link https://aws.amazon.com/pt/tax-help/Brazil.

This benefits all customers, regardless of their location, who were previously responsible for manually collecting sales tax or VAT. Moving forward, all invoices will already include the taxes, simplifying the payment process.

United States

By procuring AWS services through Dotted-US, which is a Delaware incorporated entity, customers are exempt from paying sales tax or VAT on digital goods or Platform as a service such as AWS. Consequently, customers' tax settings are automatically adjusted to zero, eliminating any previous obligations for VAT or sales tax payments, as specified in the link https://aws.amazon.com/pt/tax-help/united-states/.

This benefits all customers, regardless of their location, who were previously responsible for paying sales tax or VAT. Going forward, all your invoices & cost explorer will no longer include a tax line item, simplifying financial processes and reducing costs for customers worldwide.
