US Sales tax

Invoicing in United States

United States works on Sales tax rather than a single national rate, which means the rate follows the place of supply and not the seller. Invoices are issued in ⁨USD⁩. DocsOrigin treats the rate as data you set per jurisdiction, and never invents a national default that would be wrong everywhere.

Invoicing in United States is free forever with DocsOrigin: every document type, every export, no card and no trial.

How reliable is this figure

Graded high: this rate has been checked against a tax-authority or official source. It is still your responsibility to confirm it before you rely on it.

Last checked against a source: ⁨2026-08⁩.

Whatever the grade, your own setting always wins — a rate you enter overrides the registry everywhere, including on documents already dated in the past.

Charge sales tax only in states where you have nexus. Rates shown are the state base rate; county and city rates add on top.

Rates by State

There is no single national rate in United States. The rate follows the place of supply, so DocsOrigin keeps a table rather than one number — and charges nothing until you choose one, because a wrong sales-tax rate is worse than an unanswered question.

Document types recognised in United States

These are the documents DocsOrigin will offer a business registered in United States, under the names used there. A type that has no meaning locally is not offered at all.

Proformafaktura

En betalningsanmodan. Ger inte klienten rätt att dra av moms.

Momsdeklarerad faktura

Skattedokumentet själv. Låst när det är utfärdat.

Kreditnota

Tax identifier

On a document issued in United States the identifier is labelled EIN / Tax ID. It is printed in the header of every tax document, isolated left-to-right so it reads correctly in any interface language.

Expected format ^\d{2}-?\d{7}$

DocsOrigin checks this identifier's structure as you type — a wrong number on an issued document cannot be corrected by editing it.

Numbering

United States does not impose a strict national sequence, but DocsOrigin still numbers sequentially per document type and per year, because a gap is the first thing anyone auditing you will ask about.

Prefix, padding and yearly reset are configurable per document type, and the series is kept separately for each type.

Invoicing in United States — questions

What tax rate do I charge in United States?

United States has no single national rate: it depends on the place of supply. Choose the State you are registered in and DocsOrigin uses that rate, including the local add-ons where they apply.

Which document do I issue to a customer in United States?

The document set recognised in United States is listed above, under the names used locally. For a paid sale the usual document is Momsdeklarerad faktura, and a mistake on an issued document is corrected with a credit note rather than an edit.

Does DocsOrigin cost anything in United States?

No. DocsOrigin is free forever for businesses in United States as everywhere else: no subscription, no card, no trial, no per-document fee and no export fee. Optional professional services are the only thing that is ever charged for, and they are quoted per project.

What if the rate for United States is wrong or changes?

Set your own rate in the business settings and it overrides the registry immediately, for new documents and for any date. Rates are applied by document date, so an old document keeps the rate that applied when it was issued.

Also billing in ⁨USD⁩
