Tax Automation with Stripe Tax

3min



Introduction

Stripe Tax is a product that automatically collects taxes from your customers based on their location. In addition, Stripe Tax lets you view all the countries where you do business. Allowing you insight into which countries warrant tax collection and offering an easy-to-file/remit your taxes during tax time

Configuration

To set up Stripe Tax, you need to configure your tax settings within the Dashboard and, depending on your integration, add one line of code.



  • Review and confirm that your origin address and pieces of information are correct.
    • The origin address is where your business is located or, if you sell physical goods, the address you are shipping goods from.
  • Choose a tax category to apply the tax rate correctly.
    • Default product tax category: A product tax category is a classification of your product or service for Stripe Tax. Stripe uses this to ensure that the correct tax rate is applied to your transactions. Please refer to the tax category document from Stripe.
  • Add an active tax registration when you’ve exceeded a tax threshold.
    • When your business exceeds a tax threshold (the sales volume or the number of transactions required to start collecting tax), you must register with the local tax authority before adding tax to your transactions.
  • Add Stripe Tax to your integration to start collecting tax.
    • The final step in setting up Stripe Tax is to enable automatic tax on your Stripe integration.
