Stripe Tax adds automatic sales tax, VAT, and GST collection to any Stripe-powered checkout with a single line of code. Monitors economic nexus thresholds across US states, calculates the correct rate at transaction level, and generates tax reports for filing. Pricing is 0.5% of transactions with Stripe Tax enabled. Important: Stripe Tax handles collection and reporting but does NOT file returns — businesses still need a separate filing solution or accountant.
Businesses already processing payments through Stripe who want automatic tax collection without a separate compliance platform. Ideal for SaaS, digital products, and ecommerce built on Stripe.
Stripe Tax activates with one line of code for existing Stripe users — tax collection starts automatically on every transaction with no separate platform to learn, making it the lowest-friction entry point into sales tax compliance.
Businesses not using Stripe as their payment processor. Also not a complete compliance solution — does not handle return filing or remittance.

I must say this new feature simplifies things A LOT. Stripe tax does all of that automatically, based on the customer full address and VAT numbers.

Stripe Tax costs the same as Merchant of Record, but it doesn't do anything they do. Yes, they help you calculate the tax amount... but it's you that still need to file taxes correctly everywhere in the world, and it's still you that is responsible for Stripe Tax mistakes.

The tax products offered by Stripe and a few specialist providers seem to offer little more than tracking some VAT rates and doing some simple calculations. I don't understand who the target market is supposed to be for these services today.

Stripe Tax will help you collect the right amount of sales tax, but that's only half the problem.

If you only need one or two non-SST states, it will still probably come out cheaper than using Stripe (and will include reporting and filing).

Stripe Tax is vastly outgunned by its competitors... It is a significantly inferior product.

Stripe Tax has been a lifesaver. It calculates and collects the right tax automatically, and the reporting is solid.

Stripe down for 4 hours (and counting) for all those with Stripe Tax enabled.

Solutions like Stripe Tax... only help collect the necessary data (which I consider the easier part, at least for digital goods), but do not handle the registration filing.

StripeTax is good but very expensive and you'll need something else for filing, registration remittance.
