# Taxes!
If your billing address is in Ohio, Washington State, or the City of Chicago, you'll have to pay a tax when you pay for Basecamp. Here's why.

Some state or local governments impose taxes on Internet-based software, and Basecamp complies by collecting taxes on their behalf. The exact amount you're taxed depends on the rates determined by your local government. 100% of the taxes we collect are remitted to the taxing authority.
Basecamp is required to collect and remit sales tax in a number of US states and localities. Not all states tax the sale of software as a service (SaaS), but it's becoming increasingly common. If your state is on the list below, you'll see a line item on your monthly invoice for sales tax. The rate being collected on your invoice is determined by your billing address.

You'll see sales tax on your invoice if you live in:

* Chicago (Illinois) 
* Washington
* Hawaii
* South Dakota

Currently, you'll have to pay a tax if your billing address is in Ohio, Washington State, or the City of Chicago (Illinois). Check out these links for full details:
