Overview
Starting December 2, 2025, Quicknode will begin applying sales tax to customer accounts where required by state law. Sales tax is determined based on your billing address.
This page covers how sales tax is calculated, when it will appear on your invoices, what to expect during the rollout, and how tax-exempt organizations can request exemption.
Sales Tax Effective Dates
| Date | What Happens | Affected States | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 2, 2025 | Sales tax is included on all new invoices generated on or after this date. | NY, TX, WA | Any invoice a customer receives on or after Dec 2 will include sales tax if the billing address is in one of the taxable states. This applies to all customers and includes upgrades or mid-cycle charges. |
| January 1, 2026 | Sales tax is included on all renewal invoices for most existing customers. | NY, TX, WA | Most existing customers will first see sales tax on their January renewal invoice if their billing address is in one of the taxable states. |

How Sales Tax is Applied
Sales tax is determined based on your billing address in the Quicknode Dashboard and is calculated automatically using the most current tax rates for your location.
Tax Calculation Rules
- Taxable jurisdictions: Sales tax automatically applies if your billing address is in a state listed above.
- Non-taxable jurisdictions: No sales tax is applied if your billing address is in a state not currently subject to tax collection.
- Missing/invalid addresses: Customers without a complete billing address may be subject to default tax rates (see table above for specific rates by state).
- Rate determination: Tax rates include state, county, and local taxes as applicable to your specific address.
Ensure your billing information is accurate by visiting your Quicknode Dashboard → Profile icon → Profile → Primary address.
What to Expect on Your Invoices
Once sales tax collection is active for your account, invoices will include a dedicated Sales Tax line item showing the tax amount and applicable rate.
Sample Invoice
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Quicknode Build Plan | $49.00 |
| Sales Tax (6.25%) | $3.06 |
| Total | $52.06 |
The sales tax line item includes the applicable tax rate for transparency. Rates vary by location and may include state, county, and local taxes.
