Japanese Consumption Tax (JCT) on your GitHub Account

Starting on 1 October 2024, we will begin collecting Japanese Consumption Tax (JCT) from self-serve customers in Japan who pay with a credit card or a PayPal account to comply with Japan Tax Regulations. If you are a self-serve paying customer in Japan, there will be updates to your invoice that show GitHub Inc.’s Registration Number (T4700150079306), and the 10% consumption tax amount in USD and JPY.

Note: This feature has been rolled back. For the latest information about this capability, view this new post

Starting today, network requests for Copilot are routed based on a user’s Copilot subscription. Requests for Copilot Individual, Copilot Business, and Copilot Enterprise users now route through different endpoints.

This change enables Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers to make sure all Copilot users on their networks are accessing Copilot through their Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise subscription, and that all Copilot user data is handled according to the terms of their Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise agreement. In essence, customers will be able to use their network firewall to explicitly allow access to Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise, and/or block access to Copilot Individual.

In 90 days, on October 31, 2024 we will enable enforcement of the user’s subscription on the new endpoints, ensuring only Copilot Business users can connect to Copilot Business endpoints and only Copilot Enterprise users can connect to Copilot Enterprise endpoints.
