Tennessee Sales Tax Applies to Health App Subscriptions Offering Software and Medical Devices

  • Tennessee Department of Revenue ruled that subscription fees for a health app are subject to sales tax because the primary purpose is access to software.
  • The subscription includes a mobile app for health tracking, an FDA-approved Bluetooth blood pressure monitor, and technical support.
  • The app is not customized for users and offers various health monitoring features.
  • Even though services are generally exempt, sales tax applies when the main transaction is for software access.
  • Businesses must carefully structure and document their offerings to determine and support the division between taxable and non-taxable items.
