SaaS Sales Tax in New Hampshire

New Hampshire does not currently impose a state-level sales tax, including on Software as a Service (SaaS). Therefore, businesses selling SaaS in New Hampshire are not required to charge or collect sales tax. However, it is important to note that this is subject to change, as the state legislature continues to evaluate potential revenue sources. Therefore, it is crucial for SaaS businesses to stay informed about any potential future sales tax implementations.

How-To Guides: New Hampshire SaaS VAT

Step: 1 Threshold

There is no sales tax or digital service tax in New Hampshire, so there is no VAT/GST registration threshold or VAT/GST number for SaaS/digital services; registration for this purpose is not applicable.

Step: 2 Business Registration

U.S. businesses selling into New Hampshire do not register for sales tax because no general sales tax exists. Registration with NH DRA is only for specific taxes (e.g., Meals & Rentals, Business Profits Tax).

Step: 3 TIN/VAT Number

There is no state VAT/Sales Tax ID for SaaS; businesses use federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) for other tax filings. Not required for sale of SaaS.

Step: 1 Standard Rate

New Hampshire applies 0% state sales tax on SaaS and other digital services; no local sales taxes.

Step: 2 VAT Formula

To calculate your tax amount, use the following formula:

 

Tax Amount = Net Price × 0% (no tax applies)

Step: 3 Reverse Charge (B2B)

The concept of reverse charge does not apply because there is no sales tax regime on SaaS in the state.

Step: 1 Selling B2C

No sales tax is charged to consumers on SaaS or other digital services in New Hampshire because the state does not impose a sales tax.

Step: 2 Selling B2B

Similarly, business customers are not charged sales tax on B2B SaaS in New Hampshire.

Step: 3 Determine if you need to register.

Although no sales tax invoice requirements exist for sales tax (because none is collected), best practice for SaaS billings may include:
– Supplier/Provider Legal Name
– Supplier Address
– Customer Name and Address
– Invoice Issue Date and Sequential Number
– Description of Service (e.g., SaaS subscription)
– Currency and Amount Charged
– Federal EIN (if applicable)

These are general invoicing fields; NH does not mandate specific sales tax invoice fields because no tax is collected.

Step: 1 Filing Interval

There is no state sales tax filing requirement for SaaS because no tax applies.

Step: 2 Filing Deadline

The filing deadline does not apply to sales tax on SaaS.

Step: 3 Submission

No NH Department of Revenue Administration (DRA) portal filings is required for SaaS sales tax.

Step: 4 Record Keeping

Although no sales tax returns are filed, maintain clear records of customer location, sales, and contracts in case of future changes or nexus in other U.S. states. The Department does not specify sales tax record retention requirements for non-taxable transactions.
