File and remit

You must file and remit the tax you collect for every location where you’re registered. Each location has its own rules for reporting and filing taxes. For example, some US locations require businesses to report taxes at the city or county level. Others only need information at the state level. Additionally, each location determines when you must pay (or remit) taxes, which might vary by the volume of your sales into that location.

Filing frequency

Each local tax authority determines how often you must file your taxes and when you must register to collect tax. You might need to remit tax monthly, quarterly, annually, or on another frequency. How often you file can vary based on annual revenue and other factors. If you’re unsure about your filing frequency, contact your local tax authority to confirm.

Refunds

Stripe Tax exports and reports include refunds. When you issue a refund to a customer, you might need to file an amended return to account for that refund. To claim a refund on your amended tax return, contact your local tax authority.
