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.

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.
