Understanding Cloudflare sales tax |
To adhere to tax laws in Russia and certain US states, Cloudflare collects sales tax on sales of our services based on your billing address.
To avoid unwanted charges, ensure your billing address and payment method are accurate within your Cloudflare account.

Cloudflare is required by law to maintain documentation of tax-exempt sales. If you or your company are exempt from paying sales tax, email exemptioncertificates@cloudflare.com from an email address associated with your Cloudflare account and provide one of the following forms of tax-exempt documentation:
- Resale certificate
- Multi-state tax exemption certificate
- State sales tax exemption certificate
- Partial sales tax exemption certificate
After your exemption is validated, tax-exempt status is added to your Cloudflare account information. Cloudflare invoices do not contain sales tax for the duration your exemption is valid.
Foreign e-services suppliers are required by law to collect taxes on the supply of e-services to Russian customers. Cloudflare customers with Russian billing addresses are charged a 20% flat tax rate based on their billing address on file.
