Stripe Payment Gateway - Tax
Prior to this enhancement, the customers had to find other ways of collecting the taxes for transactions made via CSX EXE as the payments processed through Stripe did not include the sales tax amount.
With this enhancement, customers using the Stripe payment gateway can automatically collect tax from their end users during the transaction. Stripe Tax lets you calculate, collect, and report tax on global payments with a single integration. You can easily register with Stripe and access the reports within Stripe to file returns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can Stripe tax be used for tax calculation when the payment gateway provider is not Stripe?
No. As of now, Stripe tax can only be used when Stripe is the payment processor for the transactions.
Do we need a separate tax account with Stripe payment gateway for tax calculations?
No separate tax account is needed but you must register the regions within your Stripe account to collect taxes.
If a given LO does not have the pricing tab, can tax be calculated for that particular LO?
No. Apply sales tax checkbox under the pricing tab of a given LO should be checked for Tax calculation. If the pricing tab is unavailable, tax cannot be calculated for that LO.
