Tax registrations are locations where you’re registered to collect and remit tax.

Stripe Tax can also monitor when you may have exceeded tax thresholds in countries where you’re not currently registered.

5. Capture customer address information

The Address block included on checkout pages and events helps collect the customer information required for Stripe Tax calculations.

We recommend keeping the Address block enabled when using Stripe Tax.

Stripe Tax may require different customer address information depending on the country.

For example:

• United States: Country, address line one, postal code
• Canada: Country, postal code
• EU: Country, postal code
• United Kingdom: Country
• Most other countries: Country

For the most accurate tax calculations, we recommend collecting a full customer address.

6. Add a Tax ID field for business customers

If you’re selling to businesses, you may also want to collect Tax IDs such as VAT numbers.

You can do this by adding a Tax ID field to your checkout page or event.

Tax IDs are validated based on their format, but you are responsible for validating that the Tax ID belongs to the customer.

7. Tax is automatically calculated during checkout

Tax is automatically recalculated as customers complete the checkout form based on:

• Checkout price
• Customer location
• Customer Tax ID

Stripe charges the taxable amount on payments, displays tax on invoices and provides exports of tax transactions.

Enable Stripe Tax on a checkout page or event

To enable Stripe Tax on a checkout page or event:

1. Open the checkout page or event
2. Click Checkout
3. Click Tax
