As of 1 June 2026, DigitalOcean charges Value Added Tax (VAT) to customers with a tax location in Peru. The current tax rate is 18%.

This complies with Peru’s tax regulation, which applies to digital services rendered by foreign suppliers to customers in Peru. DigitalOcean begins charging VAT on 1 June 2026, and these charges appear on invoices issued on and after 1 July 2026.

If you have a valid RUC in Peru, you can add it to your team to remove tax charges from your invoice. If you have a valid RUC but don’t add it to your team, your invoice includes tax charges.

Frequently Asked Questions about Taxes

How is my tax location determined?

Your tax location is typically based on your account address, which is initially set to the payment address of your primary payment method when you sign up. In some locations, we are required by law to consider other account details, like other payment addresses or IP addresses.

How can I change my tax location?

You can update your account address and view your account’s tax location and rate at any time on the Billing page’s Settings tab. If you’ve set your account address correctly but your account’s tax location is not what you expect, contact support for help.

Why is my invoice in USD? Can I get an invoice in another currency?

USD is the only currency we accept for payments, so all invoices are in USD. We cannot provide invoices in other currencies. Learn more about invoices
