VAT and sales tax on your Mortar bill

US prices on Billing have no VAT note. UK prices add + VAT. Any sales tax due is calculated on checkout.

Updated November 7, 2026

Open Settings, then Billing. How the plan price is written depends on the website's country. Published prices are on the pricing page. The UK listing there uses + VAT; the US listing does not add that note.

Steps

  1. On a US website, Core and Pro cards show the monthly dollar price with no VAT note.
  2. On a UK website, the same cards show the monthly price with + VAT. The line under the price on the website row adds plus VAT where applicable.
  3. Press the subscribe button for Core. The box is Subscribe for the site name. On a US site the Core button in that box shows the dollar monthly price without a VAT note.
  4. That button opens checkout. Checkout asks for a tax ID when you are buying as a business. Any sales tax that is due is added on that page.

The Partner plan uses the same rule. A USD price does not add the VAT note. A GBP price adds "Prices plus VAT where applicable." See partner-billed accounts. Pro checkout is not open today — see plans and changing plan.

If it doesn't work

If checkout does not open, the message is "We couldn't open checkout just now — please try again, or email team@mortar.site."

Mortar does not publish a tax rate on Billing. The checkout page is where the tax, if any, is shown.

Common questions

Is sales tax added on the Billing page itself?

No. A US price on Billing has no VAT note and no sales-tax line. Any tax due is worked out on the checkout page.

Does a UK website show VAT?

Yes. A UK price on Billing adds + VAT, and the website row adds plus VAT where applicable.
