A Tax ID is the number your government gives your business for tax purposes. Depending on the country, it’s called a VAT number (Europe), a Tax ID or EIN (United States), an ABN (Australia), or something else.
In Productive, Tax IDs appear in three places.
Your Productive Subscription
Productive puts your company’s Tax ID on the invoices you receive for your Productive subscription. You’ll find it in Settings > Billing, where you also choose its Tax ID format.
Your Subsidiaries
Each subsidiary can have its own Tax ID. It appears on the invoices that subsidiary sends to clients. You’ll find it in Settings > Company info, under Subsidiaries.
Your Clients
You can add a client’s Tax ID to the client company in CRM > Companies.
📌 You can also click Edit client in a budget’s sidebar. This changes the client company itself, so the new Tax ID applies to all of that client’s budgets.
