Taxes and VAT

Taxes are shown when they are enabled for the billing system or required for your order.

Where tax appears

You may see tax in:

• Checkout totals.
• Invoice details.
• Downloaded invoices.

The invoice detail modal can show a separate Tax line when tax is applied.

How tax is calculated

Expanse Panel uses billing settings to decide whether tax is enabled and what default rate applies. The exact amount is calculated server-side and shown before you pay.

Do not estimate tax manually; use the total shown in the panel.

VAT

Some regions use VAT instead of sales tax. If VAT applies to your purchase, it will be represented in the tax line or invoice details according to the billing setup.

If you need specific VAT information on an invoice, contact support before payment where possible.

Processing fees are different

Payment processing fees are not the same as tax.

An invoice can show:

• Tax — required tax/VAT amount.
• Payment processing fee — gateway or payment-provider fee added for a specific payment method.

Both can affect the final amount due.

Tax questions

For tax or VAT questions, include:

• Your team name.
• Invoice number.
• Billing country or company details.
• What you need changed or clarified.

Expanse support can review the invoice and advise what information is needed.
