Intercom is required to assess applicable taxes as required by local laws. Depending on your company address, services sold by Intercom may be subject to tax.

Your company address is the physical location of your company’s headquarters.

Your billing address is the address the credit card attached to your workspace is registered under.

The two addresses could be the same, but in many cases they are different. Having the correct company address helps us ensure your invoices are accurate and we can process your payments correctly.

The basics

  • Your company address is used to determine the correct tax rate, if applicable.

  • Prices shown on our website do not include tax.

  • Billing contacts or individuals with appropriate access can review and update company address details.
