Showing Stripe Tax compared with TaxJar.
Facts checked on against each vendor’s public pages.
Tax inside a payment platform
Stripe Tax calculates and collects sales tax, VAT and GST on Stripe transactions. Registration and filing need Tax Complete, a one-year plan, and are done by Stripe in some countries and by partners elsewhere.
Choose Stripe Tax if you’re one of these:
US sales tax tool
TaxJar calculates US sales tax, tracks nexus, builds state reports and files returns through AutoFile, priced by monthly order volume. It covers the US only; Stripe points businesses that need VAT or GST to Stripe Tax.
Choose TaxJar if you’re one of these:
Stripe Tax charges 0.5% per transaction (Tax Basic; Tax Complete from $90 a month on a one-year contract). That price covers every state and country you sell into. TaxJar starts at $39 a month (Starter: up to 200 orders a month, two filings a year). That price covers every state and country you sell into. Filing is optional with Stripe Tax: one US state filed for you costs $430 a month. Filing is optional with TaxJar: one US state filed for you costs $50 per filing.
Every row comes from the vendor’s own pricing page, help centre or docs. “Not stated” means the vendor doesn’t say publicly, not that the feature is missing.
