Tax compliance made simple
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.
Interest and penalties on uncollected sales tax vary in the US—they can easily exceed 30% of the sales tax due.
European registration thresholds vary from €0 in Spain to £90,000 in the UK.
Over 100 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.

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.
Malaysia, Mexico, and Indonesia require foreign businesses to charge VAT on B2B SaaS transactions.
Foreign businesses must appoint a tax representative for VAT registration in Mexico and Switzerland.
