Stripe Tax

What Stripe Tax is
Stripe Tax calculates and collects sales tax, VAT, and GST through one integration, while providing reports for businesses that file returns themselves. It supports B2B, B2C, subscription, and marketplace models, and can be enabled from the Dashboard, with one line of code, or through the API. Integrations include Payments, Payment Links, Checkout, Connect, Billing, Invoicing, and other processors. Stripe Tax can calculate and report tax on payments processed outside Stripe, apply reverse-charge or zero-VAT treatment, and keep tax rules and rates updated. Filing options include automated US sales-tax filing through TaxJar, automated filing in more than 90 countries through Stripe and filing partners, and location-specific reports for self-filing. The API covers 100 jurisdictions. Tax Complete tiers cost 90.00 USD, 430.00 USD, 1000.00 USD, or $1,500 a month, each with a one-year contract and different usage allowances. No free plan is listed.
