# Overview
If your organization is recognized by the IRS or other local tax authorities as tax-exempt, that means you don’t need to pay any tax on your Expensify monthly bill. Please follow these instructions to request tax-exempt status.
# How to request tax-exempt status in Expensify
1. Go to **Settings > Account > Payments**.
1. Click on the option that says **Request Tax-Exempt Status**.
1. After you've requested tax-exempt status, Concierge (our support service) will start a conversation with you. They will ask you to upload a PDF of your tax-exempt documentation. This document should include your VAT number (or "RUT" in Chile). You can use one of the following documents: 501(c), ST-119, or a foreign tax-exempt declaration.
1. Our team will review your document and let you know if we need any more information.
1. Once everything is verified, we'll update your account accordingly.
