Is SaaS taxable in New Hampshire?
The rule
New Hampshire treats SaaS as a nontaxable sale, since the state has no general sales tax.
The main exception
New Hampshire has no sales tax, but its business profits tax and business enterprise tax can still apply to SaaS sellers with enough New Hampshire activity.
What to do
Check whether your New Hampshire revenue creates a business profits or business enterprise tax filing, since there is no sales tax to collect.
Is your product taxable in New Hampshire?
No. New Hampshire has no sales tax, so nothing you sell there is taxed, whether it is delivered online, downloaded or shipped, and however you write the invoice.
