Special note for the United States: We charge an 8% sales tax for customers in Texas. We also collect sales tax from customers in Utah and Arizona. In those states, the sales tax rate depends on the specific city or county where the customer is located. We use the address in your account to figure this out. The same rule applies to customers in Colorado and New Mexico. If you have a valid tax exemption certificate, you can send it to our accounting department via Robot/konsoleH/Hetzner Console.
Note for Switzerland: We, Hetzner Online GmbH, register for tax purposes in Switzerland, so the rules of Art. 45 of the Swiss Value-Added Tax Act (MWSTG) do not apply. Instead, Art. 10, para. 1(b) of the MWSTG applies. As a result, Hetzner Online GmbH must collect tax on sales in Switzerland under Art. 25, para. 1 of the MWSTG.
All other countries outside the EU
Customers from these countries will receive their invoice without VAT.
