# Tax Collection

Follow the steps on this page to enable tax rate automation in Stripe if your business operates in multiple jurisdictions with varying tax rates. Otherwise, see the [Tax Groups](/business-details/tax-groups.md) in your business details settings for invoice-specific tax groups.

Navigate to **Settings → Earnings → Tax** to configure your Stripe tax rates.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Tax rules vary by location and product type.

Confirm your registrations and tax setup with your accountant or local authority.
{% endhint %}

### What you can do here

* Review your tax settings at a glance
* Set your **tax address**
* Set a default **product tax code**
* Add **local tax registrations** so taxes are collected where you’re registered

You’ll see your current tax setup and any registrations you’ve added using the same pathway.

{% hint style="info" %}
For advanced tax settings, use **Manage in Stripe** in the top right.
{% endhint %}

### Add or update your tax details

The Tax tab is split into a few sections.

Each section has an **Edit** button on the right.

Some rows can be expanded. Click the caret (arrow) to view the details you’ve already filled out.

#### Tax address

Your **tax address** is used as the reference address for tax calculations.

1. Find **Tax address**.
2. Click **Edit**.
3. Enter your address details and save.

#### Product tax code

Your **product tax code** tells Stripe what you sell.

It affects how tax is calculated for customer payments.

1. Find **Product tax code**.
2. Click **Edit**.
3. Choose the code that matches your business and location.

### Add local tax registrations

Add a registration for every location where you’re required to collect tax.

You can add multiple registrations.

#### Add a registration

1. In **All registrations**, click **Add** (or **Add registration**).
2. In the pop-up:
   1. Select your **country**
   2. Select the **registration** that applies to you (for example, a province/state tax)

3. Click **Add registration** to save.

Once saved, you’ll see the registration in your list with its status and start date.
