Showing Stripe Tax compared with Taxually.
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:
Managed VAT compliance service
Taxually registers businesses for VAT, files and pays their returns and can act as a fiscal representative, with US and Canadian sales tax through LumaTax. It also sells tax calculation and e-invoicing, and prices everything by quote.
Choose Taxually 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. Taxually doesn’t publish prices: you ask for a quote. Filing is optional with Stripe Tax: one US state filed for you costs $430 a month. Taxually doesn’t publish a price for US 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.
