Can You Claim Input Tax Credit on Video Software?
A sales tax where applicable-registered business can generally claim input tax credit on a business video conferencing subscription when the invoice and reporting requirements are met.
Why the question matters
What needs to be true
- Supplier reporting: Credit is matched against the supplier’s filings, including the records available to the recipient.
- Business use: The subscription must be used in the course or furtherance of business.
- No blocked credit: Confirm that the purchase does not fall within a restricted category for your circumstances.

Frequently asked questions
Can a small business claim input tax credit on software?
Do I need a reseller to get a sales tax where applicable invoice?
That depends on the vendor. Ask before you buy, because it affects both the paperwork and the effective cost.
Does sales tax where applicable make foreign software more expensive?
Not by itself if the credit is recoverable. The key question is whether you receive the documentation needed to claim it.
