Why am I being charged sales tax now?

Effective October 1, 2025, the State of Washington requires sales tax to be applied to digital
advertising services. To comply with these regulations, Teads Holding Co. ( formerly Outbrain
Inc) will begin collecting sales tax on applicable services for customers located in Washington.

What is the effective date of the changes?
Washington sales tax will be collected on invoices issued on or after December 1, 2025.

Who is affected?
Teads Holding Co. will collect Washington sales tax on digital advertising services based on your
Shipping address. Our systems will use your Shipping address to calculate Washington sales tax
on your invoice.
If your Shipping address is inaccurate or does not accurately reflect where you are receiving the
services under WA sales tax legislation, please contact Accounts Receivable at ob-ar@teads.com or your Teads representative to update your Shipping address on file.

What if my business is tax-exempt?
If your organization qualifies for an exemption, please send your valid exemption certificate to
ob-ar@teads.com so that we may update our records accordingly.
