Why are digital goods taxed at a different rate?
Last updated 18 June 2026.
Digital products are taxed based on where you are located, rather than where VistaPrint is located. This follows international tax laws for digital services like websites or design downloads.

When you purchase digital products, the tax rate is determined by the country where you live. This follows international tax laws for electronically supplied services, which include items like websites, digital logos and design services.

This ensures that the correct tax amount is applied based on your local government's requirements. Because of these regulations, the tax percentage applied to digital products may be different than the rate for physical items like Business cards or Postcards. This happens because digital services are often categorised differently than printed goods in local tax codes.
