In order to remain in compliance with regional tax regulations, Splice charges sales tax/value-added tax on all subscription payments. Tax/VAT is charged on core Splice plans (Sounds+, Creator, Creator+), rent-to-own plans, INSTRUMENT plans, and DAW Integration plans. Taxes are not included in our base subscription prices-- your payments will include a sales tax/VAT charge equal to the sales tax/VAT rate of the country (or state, for U.S. subscribers) associated with your billing address.
U.S. subscribers
Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 2018 (504 U.S. 298), Splice is required to collect and remit sales tax on its taxable goods and/or services in accordance with the sales tax laws of each state. Splice has determined that one or more of its products or services is taxable in the state in which sales tax is being assessed. If you believe that sales tax was incorrectly assessed, collected, and remitted to a state, you have the right to seek a refund from the state taxing authority. You can visit the state taxing authority’s website for instructions on how to file a refund claim. Note that refund claims must be filed before the expiration of the states’ statute of limitations (generally 3 years from the date of the transaction).
EU/UK subscribers
If you are VAT exempt, tax may still be charged at checkout based on local regulations. We are currently not able to apply VAT-exempt / tax-exempt status to any Splice customers.
Depending on your country’s rules, VAT-exempt customers may be able to reclaim or be reimbursed for VAT directly through their local tax authority.
Splice applies VAT in accordance with EU and UK tax regulations and cannot determine eligibility for VAT reimbursement on your behalf. We recommend consulting your local tax authority or advisor for guidance on reclaiming VAT, if applicable.
