Taxes

7.1. Taxes. The parties’ respective responsibilities for taxes arising under or in connection with a Contract shall be as follows:

Respective Taxes. Each party shall be responsible for any of its own personal property taxes on property it owns or leases, for franchise and privilege taxes on its business, and for taxes based on its net income or gross receipts.
Taxes in general

All amounts due from you to us for the purchase of HF products, services, or otherwise exclude all transaction taxes including, but not limited to, sales, use, value added, goods and services tax, and similar taxes (“Transaction Taxes”).

All amounts payable by you to us under a Contract shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, or governmental charges whatsoever imposed by any taxing jurisdiction unless required by law (“Withholding Tax”).

To the extent that you are required by applicable law to withhold such amounts, you shall as soon as practicable provide the appropriate notification of payment of such taxes to us.
The parties agree to cooperate to support any reduction of or exemption from any Transaction Tax or Withholding Tax including a claim for the application of any applicable income tax convention or any exemption contained in any applicable tax laws or regulations.
