Why Stripe Tax
Don’t let taxes hold you back
Businesses are required to collect taxes in more than 130 countries and in most US states. Staying compliant can be challenging, especially as your business grows. Tax rules and rates change constantly, and they vary based on what and where you sell. If you ignore these complexities, you risk paying penalties and interest on top of uncollected taxes.
We built Stripe Tax to simplify tax compliance, so you can focus on scaling your business.
On average, there is a 30% interest penalty on past-due sales tax in the US.
European registration thresholds vary from €0 in Spain to £85,000 in the UK.
Over 130 countries are taxing digital goods and more countries are planning to impose taxes on digital goods.
Non-EU businesses selling digital goods and services into the EU must collect taxes from their very first sale.
If you don’t collect sales tax from your customers, you’ll have to pay past-due taxes out of your own pocket.
SaaS sales are 100% taxable in New York, 80% in Texas, and non-taxable in California.
In Europe, businesses selling digital products generally need to collect two pieces of non-conflicting evidence to validate a customer’s location.
SaaS is only taxable in some US states, and sometimes only B2B or B2C SaaS is taxed.
Over 80% of startups on Stripe sell into more than 20 states and countries.
In 2021, over 20 countries changed their VAT rates for certain products.
Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon don’t charge state sales tax.
72% of online businesses see compliance as a barrier to international growth.
US sales tax registration thresholds for remote sellers vary from $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions in most states to $500,000 in CA, NY, and TX.
South Africa and Russia require foreign businesses to charge VAT on B2B SaaS transactions.

With Stripe Tax, we’re able to offer a tool that automates, collects, and calculates all taxes for our creators, so they can spend less time on tax compliance and more time growing their business.
Thanks to Stripe Tax, we avoided six months of engineering work and we never have to think about taxes again.
We switched to Stripe from a merchant of record provider because we wanted complete control over our checkout experience and pricing.
Knowing that Stripe understands all of the regulations and keeps everything up to date removes a ton of our customers' fears around managing taxes.
