What taxes apply to my purchase?

When you purchase a product through Hotmart, it is important to understand the taxes that may apply to your purchase. See the table below for specific information on the taxes related to each country indicated:

Argentina

Following the new AFIP (Argentinian Internal Revenue Service) list, purchases made by Argentinian households on foreign websites, as of December 1, 2021, may have the following taxes added:

  • 8% of Impuesto PAIS (Impuesto para una Argentina Inclusiva y Solidaria);
  • 21% of IVA (Impuesto al Valor Agregado);
  • 45% of Impuesto a las Ganancias;
  • Impuesto sobre los Ingresos Brutos (IIBB) that can have a variable amount according to each province. Check here the value applied to your province.

If you have questions about the taxes applied, we advise you to contact your card operator or bank.

The price you see on a product's payment page, and consequently, on the receipt issued by the Hotmart platform after completing the purchase, does not include taxes, as these taxes are charged directly by credit card operators, in accordance with the laws in force in Argentina. In other words, you can check the amount related to taxes on your card statement. In case of refund, only the product value will be refunded - with the tax amount being retained by the government.

If you have any doubts, we recommend reading our article Why were taxes applied to my purchase in Argentina?.

Australia

Purchases made from Australian households by individuals on foreign websites will incur 10% tax. Purchases made by companies, when provided with a valid Australian business number (ABN) and with active registration for GST, are exempt from taxes.

GST is a federal tax in Australia and must be collected without exception to product format, segment, payment method, currency, etc., whenever a purchase is made by a person located in the country. Location determination is done automatically via the payment page, and the same happens to tax calculations.

The price you see on a product's payment page already includes taxes.

New Zealand

As of May 2022, Hotmart has started to collect the GST, a New Zealand federal tax that must be collected whenever a purchase is made by a person located in the country.

The rate is 15% for each sale made. If the purchase is made by companies, they can enter a valid IRD number (location tax identification number) and the start date to be exempt from charges

Canada (Quebec)

Following local tax laws, as of May 2021, Hotmart began collecting the QST tax (Québec Sales Tax) on sales made by buyers in Quebec, Canada.

This tax will be collected on all sales made by individuals at a rate of 9.975%. For purchases made by companies, it will be possible to enter a valid QST number and thus be exempt from charges for the reverse charge mechanism.

The QST is a tax of the province of Quebec and must be collected without exception to product format, segment, payment method, currency, etc., whenever a purchase is made by a person located in this province. Location determination is done automatically via the payment page, and the same happens to tax calculations.

Canada (Saskatchewan)

PST is a sales tax in the amount of 6% which applies to taxable goods and services consumed or used in Saskatchewan.

This tax is collected on all sales made by individuals within the province of Saskatchewan. And for purchases made by companies, it will be possible to enter a PST ID, which is a 7-digit numeric document (PST-SK number) that, once validated, may result in exemption from the charge.

The price shown on a product's payment page already includes taxes.

Subscription plans and other recurring payments contracted by people in Saskatchewan, before tax collection begins, will also be taxed.

  • From the starting date of PST collection, recurring charges will have, in addition to federal tax, an increase of 6% embedded in the value of the product.

When the buyer accesses the Hotmart payment page, our system automatically identifies their location. If their origin is one of the 3 states mentioned above, taxes will be applied to the final price of the product.
