Sales tax on BorrowHive rentals

This article explains BorrowHive product behavior. It is not legal or tax advice.

BorrowHive may calculate, collect, and remit sales tax when a rental is in a jurisdiction where BorrowHive is configured as the marketplace collector. In those locations, tax is added above the owner listing price. It does not reduce the owner list price or replace BorrowHive service fees.

Tax behavior depends on the possession or delivery location, the item type, the rental term, local rules, and BorrowHive's current registration and provider configuration. BorrowHive may block checkout where those facts are not supported yet.

Owners cannot opt out of BorrowHive-collected tax in platform-collected jurisdictions. Outside supported platform-collected jurisdictions, owner self-collection is allowed only where BorrowHive has implemented and approved that workflow.

BorrowHive keeps a transaction tax record for checkout, including the source address, line items, policy decision, calculation record, provider references, and tax amount.
