Modify billing information

If you’re on a paid plan, you may need your billing to reflect specific information about your organization.

You need to be an Owner, Admin, or Billing admin to modify billing information.

Invoice details

If you are on a different plan and want to change your invoice details, contact support.

Billing email

For organizations that pay by invoice, the billing email is for the recipient that receives the invoice emails. For organizations that pay by credit card subscription, the billing email is the email address provided at the time the credit card was submitted.

If you want to change the billing email which receives invoices:

1. Open the Billing page of the admin console.
2. In the Invoice details section, to the right of Billing email, click Edit.
3. Provide a new value for the billing email address, and then click Save.

Note the following:

• You can add or modify only one email. To use more that one billing email, contact support.
• You can use an email for an individual that isn’t a member of your tailnet. For example, you can add ap@example.com (an accounts payable email).
• The billing email address doesn’t change who can modify billing information. Only Admins or whoever set up billing can modify billing information.

If you are paying by credit card subscription and want to change the billing email, update the email for the credit card in the Payment method section.

Name and address

1. Open the Billing page of the admin console.
2. In the Invoice details section, to the right of Name and address, click Add if no name and address has been set, or click Edit if values already exist.
3. Provide values for your business or individual name and address, and then click Save.

Once you add or modify invoice details, they will be displayed on future invoices. Additions or changes to customer details are not applied to existing invoices.

Sales tax

Tailscale collects applicable state/province and local taxes on each invoice if your billing address is in a jurisdiction that requires Tailscale to collect sales tax. This does not affect invoices prior to March 27, 2023.

Sales tax is calculated based on tax ID and billing address.

Currently the sales tax applies only to users whose billing address is in the following states:

• Arizona
• Colorado
• Connecticut
• Massachusetts
• New York
• North Carolina
• Pennsylvania
• Tennessee
• Texas
• Washington

The Tailscale pricing plans are exclusive of sales tax—sales tax is an additional charge on your invoice when your billing address is in a jurisdiction that requires sales tax.

Sales tax does not apply to organizations that have recorded their tax exempt status with Tailscale. If your organization is tax exempt or qualifies for an exemption, contact support to send your information and a copy of your valid tax exemption certificate.
