OffSec will begin collecting and remitting sales tax on applicable transactions in accordance with state and local tax requirements. This update applies to purchases and subscription renewals where tax collection is mandated based on your address.
Where Does This Apply in the U.S. States?
We collect sales tax in states where we are legally required to do so.
Sales tax will be automatically calculated and applied at checkout based on your billing address if you are individually purchasing any OffSec product for yourself and local tax laws or shipping address if you are purchasing as the admin of your organization.
If your state is not listed or if you believe you are exempt from sales tax, please contact us before placing your order.
What products sales taxes apply to?
Sales taxes apply to all purchases and will be calculated at the time of purchase.
Have Questions About Taxes in Your Area?
We recommend reviewing your local tax laws or consulting a tax professional to understand whether your location is subject to sales tax on digital goods and services, such as OffSec training and certifications.
You may also estimate your potential tax amount using this public calculator:

Please note: tax rates vary by state, county, and city, and are based on your billing address at the time of purchase.
How Can Organizations Apply for Tax-Exempt Status?
If you represent a tax-exempt organization you may be eligible for a sales tax exemption on your purchases.
To request a tax exemption:
-
Submit your request before placing an order.
Tax exemption must be confirmed in advance to ensure your purchase is processed correctly. -
Provide a valid and current tax exemption certificate.
The documentation must clearly identify your organization’s exemption status and meet the requirements of your state or local jurisdiction. -
Await confirmation.
Our team will review your submission and notify you once your exemption has been approved. Once verified, applicable future purchases will not be taxed.
⚠️ Important: Tax exemptions are granted only to qualifying organizations.
How is the tax amount calculated?
For individual purchases, sales tax is calculated based on the billing address.
For corporate purchases, sales tax is calculated based on the shipping address, in accordance with applicable local tax laws.
To ensure accurate invoicing and compliance with regional tax laws, please make sure your address is accurate and up to date. The tax amount will be clearly displayed before you complete your purchase.
Will I see the tax on my invoice or receipt?
Yes. If tax is applied, it will be listed as a separate line item on your invoice or receipt. The tax-offset discount (if applicable) will also appear, ensuring you see a full breakdown of your final payment.
Can I get a tax exemption for my purchase?
Tax exemption is currently available only for qualifying business accounts. If you believe your organization is eligible, please contact us before completing your purchase so we can guide you through the process.
Will tax be added to subscription renewals?
Yes. If you're located in the United States and sales tax applies in your state, it will be automatically calculated and included in your total renewal amount. The full cost—including any applicable tax—will be clearly displayed at the time your subscription renewal is processed.
What should I do if I believe I was charged tax by mistake?
If you think tax was applied incorrectly to your purchase, we recommend first reviewing the sales tax rules for your state or region, as tax laws can vary.
If you still have questions or concerns after reviewing this, please feel free to contact our support team. We’ll be happy to review it and assist you further.
Where can I find more information about tax rates in my state?
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on tax rates in your state, we recommend visiting your local tax authority’s website or consulting your government’s official resources.
We’re a government entity or nonprofit organization, can we get a tax exemption?
If your organization qualifies for tax-exempt status, our Sales team can help. Contact them with your exemption documentation to get started.
Will individual customers be charged sales tax?
If you're making a purchase as an individual (not on behalf of an organization), OffSec is currently offering a limited-time discount to offset any sales tax applied:
💡 You’ll receive a discount equal to the total tax amount added to your purchase.
This means the final price you pay remains the same, even if sales tax is applied at checkout.
✅ This tax-offset discount applies only to individual purchases.
⚠️ It does not apply to purchases made by organizations or businesses.
📅 While the promotion's end date has not yet been set, a public announcement will be made once a final date is confirmed.
Can the shipping address on my order be changed once the purchase is completed?
Regrettably, the shipping address cannot be changed after the order is finalized. This policy is in place to ensure the shipping address matches the information available during checkout and to maintain accurate, auditable records for tax and regulatory compliance. Once an order is confirmed, these details are securely stored and cannot be modified. Please check here for relevant information.
