Why Is My ProfitTree Bill Higher Than the Advertised Price?

If your ProfitTree bill is slightly higher than the advertised subscription price, this is due to sales tax or VAT that ProfitTree is legally required to collect and remit as a software (SaaS) company.

How Subscription Pricing Works

  • Advertised plan prices are shown before tax

  • Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout when required by law

  • The final charge reflects your local tax requirements

This is not an additional fee from ProfitTree — it is a government-mandated tax.

Why Software Is Taxed

Tax rules for software and SaaS vary by location:

  • Some regions treat SaaS as a taxable service

  • Others treat it as taxable software

  • Some apply different rates depending on usage or customer type

ProfitTree must comply with tax regulations in the regions where customers are located.

What You’ll See on Your Bill

  • Base subscription price

  • Sales tax or VAT (if applicable)

  • Total amount charged

Any tax collected is remitted to the appropriate tax authority.

Summary

If your ProfitTree bill is higher than the advertised price, the difference is due to required sales tax or VAT. Advertised prices do not include taxes, and ProfitTree applies them only where legally required.
