If you raise your on-demand budget mid-month, your organization will start accepting additional data as soon as your new budget is applied. If you lower your on-demand budget mid-month to below the current month's usage, your on-demand budget will be reduced to match your usage. On your next bill date, your on-demand budget will be lowered to the requested amount.

All Canadian federal and provincial taxes will be calculated based on billing address. Canadian business-to-business (B2B) customers with a valid Business Number ID can input their ID in their billing address settings to avoid sales tax being added to their invoices.
198+
199+
### VAT
200+
201+
In the European Union (EU) and in accordance with EU VAT legislation, VAT will be applied only to orders where exemption documentation or a valid VAT ID has not been supplied prior to or at the time of payment.
202+
203+
The VAT in other countries such as Switzerland, South Africa, and Russia is applicable on all taxable sales where valid exemption documentation has not been provided to Sentry prior to payment.
204+
205+
### B2B and B2C Taxation - Differences
206+
207+
Internationally, sales tax rules differ based on whether the customer is business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C). In most countries, B2C sales are taxable, while B2B customers are not charged sales tax at the point of sale, but self-assess when they file their returns.
208+
209+
However, in some countries, both B2C and B2B customers need to be charged sales tax at the point of sale. Sentry will levy tax on your purchase based on your local tax legislation and rate according to your billing address.
