      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
    
  
    



      
        
      
        
  
        
          
  
      
  
  
    
  

  
    Reduce tax compliance steps as you add new products, experiment with new business models, and expand internationally. Do more by increasing your finance team’s efficiency allowing them to spend less time on manual tasks.
