What You'll Learn
Mailchimp's tax collection process
If tax collection is required, Mailchimp includes the tax in the billing estimates and receipts. The company collects tax on all its products and services, and the tax amount is calculated before the purchase is completed. This tax is then reported and paid to the relevant local tax authority.
Mailchimp accepts payments in various currencies, and the pricing page uses a currency conversion tool to show current exchange rates. However, additional fees may be charged by the user's credit card company or bank for cross-border transactions. These fees are not received or the responsibility of Mailchimp.
For businesses, it is possible to add a Tax ID to the billing information. This can be done by clicking on the "Account & billing" section, followed by "Billing information", and then editing the "Primary account contact" section. The Tax ID and primary contact address must match for successful validation.
In some countries, such as Australia, businesses can opt out of tax collection by Mailchimp and instead self-assess and report their tax obligations. This is done by providing a valid Tax ID number, such as an ABN in Australia.

If your billing address is in Australia, Canada, the European Union, or the United Kingdom, you will be billed in your local currency and won't be able to change to a different currency. Mailchimp will accept payments made in several other currencies, too. The pricing page uses a currency conversion tool to show you the current exchange rates.

Additional fees may be charged by your credit card or bank for cross-border transactions. None of these fees are received by Mailchimp or are the liability of Mailchimp.
If you are on a paid monthly plan, billing is automatic on the same day each month according to your start date, and your fees are recalculated based on the exchange rate at the time of each transaction. For Pay As You Go orders, currency conversions correspond to the international exchange rate at the time of purchase. You can change your default billing currency at any time on the Billing page in your account.
