Do Descript subscriptions and transcription fees include taxes?

Depending on your location, Descript may charge any applicable sales taxes associated with your subscription fee and any other fees charged by Descript. Please check the sections below to see if your location is included.

The amount of tax charged will be based on the billing information provided by the customer. It is important for customers to maintain accurate and up-to-date billing information to facilitate the correct calculation of sales tax. In cases where billing information is not updated, sales tax will be applied based on the prevailing rates of the customer's state's tax laws.

As the regulatory landscape evolves and our company continues to grow, we may need to adjust our tax policy in the future to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
