Sales tax on BorrowHive rentals
BorrowHive uses Sales tax language at checkout. Known locations use the applicable calculation. If the possession or delivery jurisdiction or rental treatment is unresolved, the checkout may show an explicitly estimated, conservative amount and tag the transaction as implicitly taxed while operations resolve it. An estimate is not a verified statutory rate or an exemption.
This information is general and is not legal or tax advice.
Before you confirm a paid request, we show the listing price, any applicable sales tax, deposit terms, and promotions. Review the total each time because it can vary by request and location.
When Sales tax is included at checkout, do not add a separate payment or change pickup/delivery details to affect the calculation. The platform keeps collected tax separate from owner earnings and platform revenue and may correct or refund it when the jurisdiction is resolved.
If you believe a paid request should be tax-exempt, contact support before confirming it. Do not email tax IDs or exemption documents; support will tell you how to provide them safely.
Owners remain responsible for income tax and recordkeeping obligations that BorrowHive does not handle.
Paid checkout remains available while tax operations resolve an uncertain location. A refund/correction path is required before an area is marked fully resolved; tax readiness is not a checkout gate.
