Billing statement FAQs
We understand you may have questions while reviewing your billing statement. Many of these questions are common, so let's work through some of these commonly asked questions together:
Why was my usage fee more than I expected?An increase in your usage fee is usually caused by increased billable transactions, which can often happen during periods of high sales volume within your company. It can also occur after registering in a new jurisdiction or making changes to a jurisdiction's tax calculation start date. If your Anrok plan has recently been updated, this can also lead to a sudden change in your usage fee based on a new BPS rate or billable transaction threshold. |
What if my billing statement's payment fails?To ensure Anrok can file and pay your tax returns in a timely manner, you are responsible for ensuring adequate funds are in the bank account linked in Anrok and that your bank account details are updated. See Change your bank account. When you confirm that your bank account has been updated, Anrok will retry processing the ACH debit. Please contact billing@anrok.com once you've updated your bank account in Anrok. |
How does Anrok calculate and bill for my monthly fees?Anrok's fee is a basis-point charge on the amount of billable sales during the previous month. Anrok will charge a flat monthly fee, plus a base-point charge based on your amount of billable transactions. Your BPS per billable transaction will depend on your current Anrok plan. Fees are calculated and charged at the beginning of the month. Anrok will debit the bank account you entered into your Settings page. This debit will include your Anrok fee, any sales tax due on your Anrok fee, and any additional fees (e.g., state registration fees) incurred during the previous month. For more information on how Anrok calculates your monthly fees, see our Help Center article Monthly Anrok fee overview. |
How do billable transactions work for U.S. transactions?For U.S. transactions, a transaction is billable based on the taxability of the products purchased, not the taxability of the customer making the purchase. If a customer purchases a non-taxable product, the purchase of this product will not count toward your billable transactions. If a tax-exempt customer purchases a taxable product, the purchase of this product will still count toward your billable transactions. For example, let's say you have a $110,000 transaction, and the customer purchased a $100,000 taxable product and a $10,000 non-taxable product. In this case, only $100,000 of this transaction will count towards your billable transactions. If the customer were tax-exempt, $100,000 would still count towards your billable transactions since Anrok bases transaction taxability on the products purchased, not the customer making the purchase. Please note that Anrok will begin counting transactions towards your billable transactions based on the Tax calculation start date of a |
How do billable transactions work for international transactions?For international transactions, a transaction is billable based on the VRN validation or Tax calculation start date (depending on which date is earliest). If a customer makes a purchase before a jurisdiction's earliest VRN validation or Tax calculation start date, the transaction will not count toward your billable transactions. If a customer makes a purchase after the jurisdiction's earliest VRN validation or Tax calculation start date, the transaction will count towards your billable transactions. For example, let's say you had a transaction that occurred in Ireland on April 5, 2020. In the EU OSS jurisdiction, your Tax calculation start date is Jan 1, 2023, but your VRN validation start date is Jan 1, 2015. In this case, the earliest start date would be your VRN validation start date. Since this transaction occurred after your VRN validation start date, the transaction will count toward your billable transactions. |
