Itemstores calculates and collects sales tax through Stripe Tax. The Taxes screen is Stripe’s own tax tooling, so it needs a connected Stripe account. Until onboarding is finished you get the Stripe onboarding card here instead. Only an owner or an admin can open it.

Turning tax off for a store

Tax is set per store, not for the business, and it is on for a new store. The switch is Collect taxes, in the store’s Advanced section, and it calculates and collects tax at checkout using Stripe Tax. Turn it off for a store that should not be charged tax, such as one for a school or church.

​
Tax settings

Where you tell Stripe what you sell and where you are based, so it can work out what to charge.

​
Tax registrations

The places you are registered to collect tax. Tax is not collected in an area with no registration.
Adding a registration is a tax decision, not a technical one. Register where you are actually obliged to, and talk to a tax professional if you are not sure.

​
Tax invoices

Your Stripe documents and account statements.
Stripe Tax charges a fee for calculating tax. It arrives on the payout that covers the day it was billed, inside that payout’s Fees. See Payouts.

Finding what you collected
