Enter a tax ID
On the Tax ID tab, confirm your country and company name, enter your tax ID, and upload and submit the tax certificate.
The tax processing of Alibaba Cloud invoices depends on the tax information that you enter. Different countries or regions have different types of tax numbers. Check the tax number carefully.
If you enter a tax ID, make sure that you understand the importance of tax ID correctness. If you specify an incorrect tax ID, which results in additional fees to Alibaba Cloud, such as taxes, penalties, and interests, Alibaba Cloud has the right to demand compensation from you.
If you do not enter a tax ID, the absence of a tax ID may be considered as a business-to-consumer (B2C) transaction. This results in a tax charge, such as VAT.
