Update tax details for an Azure billing account
When you buy Azure products and services, the taxes that you pay are determined by one of two things: your sold-to address, or your ship-to/service usage address, if it's different.
This article helps you review and update the sold to information, ship-to/service usage address, and tax IDs for your Azure billing account. The instructions to update vary by the billing account type. For more information about billing accounts and how to identify your billing account type, see View billing accounts in Azure portal. An Azure billing account is separate from your Azure user account.
Note
When you update the sold to information, ship-to address, and Tax IDs in the Azure portal, the updated values are only used for invoices that are generated in the future. To make changes to an existing invoice, create a support request.
