Do I Have to Charge Tax on Squarespace?

PRO TIP: If you are using the Squarespace platform to sell products or services, you may be required to charge tax on your transactions. Depending on your location and the products or services you are selling, you may need to collect and remit VAT, GST, or other taxes. Be sure to check with your accountant or tax advisor to determine if you need to charge tax on your Squarespace transactions.

If you’re running a business, you need to charge tax on your products and services. This includes digital products and services, like those offered by Squarespace.

But how do you know if you need to charge tax on Squarespace? The answer depends on a few factors.

First, let’s look at the definition of “taxable” under U.S. law. According to the IRS, taxable income is “all income from whatever source derived.” This includes, but is not limited to, wages, salaries, tips, interest, dividends, business income, rents, and capital gains.

In other words, if you’re making money from Squarespace (or any other source), it’s likely taxable.

Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. For example, if you’re a nonprofit organization or government entity, you may not be required to pay taxes on your Squarespace income.

Additionally, some states don’t have a state income tax, so you wouldn’t need to pay tax on your Squarespace earnings if you live in one of those states. (However, you would still need to pay federal taxes.)

The bottom line is that if you’re earning money from Squarespace (or any other source), it’s likely that you’ll need to pay taxes on that income. Be sure to consult with a tax professional to determine your specific tax obligations.
