If you’re using Stripe Tax to calculate sales tax, you can still connect your Stripe account to Numeral. This setup is limited, but it allows you to continue managing sales tax within Stripe while leveraging Numeral for filings and compliance.
You can connect your Stripe account to Numeral and continue using Stripe Tax for sales tax calculations, but only in a limited capacity. When using Stripe Tax, we currently support charges captured through:
Stripe Invoices
Stripe Billing (for subscriptions)
This article highlights important considerations to ensure your Stripe tax settings stay aligned with filings processed through Numeral.
💡 To get full support for other Stripe payment methods (like Stripe Checkout or Stripe Elements) and have our team manage tax configurations—such as enabling collection and categorizing products—you’ll need to switch to Numeral’s tax engine. Detailed instructions for connecting through our API can be found here.
Key Limitations
1. Tax Settings for New Registrations
You will be responsible for turning on tax collection in Stripe for every jurisdiction where you have an active sales tax account.
For new registrations, be sure to start collection on your first day of liability.
To find your liability start dates, log in to Numeral → go to Jurisdictions in the left menu → review the Liability start column under Processing and Registered.
⚠️ If you don’t enable tax collection at the correct time, you may end up paying sales tax out of pocket.
2. Product Categorization
You’ll also need to make sure your products are properly categorized in Stripe.
Product categories determine how items are taxed and can significantly impact your tax calculations.
Want broader Stripe support?
If you use Stripe beyond invoices and subscriptions, you can access full support by connecting to Numeral’s tax engine.
