The United States does not have a federal value-added tax (VAT) or goods and services tax (GST). Instead, sales taxes are levied at the state and local level, with rates and rules varying significantly across jurisdictions. Sales tax rates vary significantly by jurisdiction, with some states having no sales tax at all (e.g. Oregon, Montana, Delaware, New Hampshire). Sales tax is generally collected by the seller at the point of sale and remitted to the relevant state tax authority. Businesses are identified by their EIN (Employer Identification Number), a 9-digit number assigned by the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) in the format XX-XXXXXXX. State-level tax registration is separate and varies by jurisdiction. There is no federal e-invoicing mandate. Both credit notes and debit notes are supported for invoice corrections.Documentation Index
