Stripe Tax review

Stripe Tax adds tax calculation to the payments and billing stack many SaaS companies already use. Tax Basic charges 0.5% per transaction where you are registered to collect, with no recurring fee, when you use the no-code integration on Billing, Checkout, Invoicing and Payment Links; transactions created through Stripe's payment APIs or another processor are priced per transaction instead. It calculates tax on 700+ product and service types, collects in 100+ countries and sends alerts when you reach a sales tax, VAT or GST threshold. Tax Complete is a monthly subscription that adds registrations in 90+ countries and filings in 90+ countries, with filing through Stripe in the US, Canada's federal simplified regime and the EU non-Union OSS, and partner filing elsewhere. Stripe's page showed Tax Complete pricing only in local currency from our location, so check the US price yourself. Teams that sell outside Stripe will need a separate tool or connector.
