Register a tax certificate
If you're a customer in the United States and you're exempt from sales tax, you can register a valid tax exemption certificate with Docker's Support team. If you're a global customer subject to VAT, make sure that you provide your VAT number.
Important
Starting July 1, 2024, Docker will begin collecting sales tax on subscription fees in compliance with state regulations for customers in the United States. For our global customers subject to VAT, the implementation will start rolling out on July 1, 2024. Note that while the rollout begins on this date, VAT charges may not apply to all applicable subscriptions immediately.
To ensure that tax assessments are correct, make sure that your billing information and VAT/Tax ID, if applicable, are updated. If you're exempt from sales tax, see Register a tax certificate.
