How to Manage VAT and Taxes

If you are selling to customers in jurisdictions that require tax collection (EU, UK, etc.), you need to ensure your pricing and invoicing handle taxes correctly.

Stripe Tax

Zemers integrates with Stripe Tax, which can automatically calculate and collect the correct tax amount at checkout based on the customer's location. To enable it:

1. Log in to your Stripe dashboard.

2. Enable Stripe Tax in Stripe settings.

3. Register your products as digital goods.

4. Stripe will automatically add the correct tax rate to each checkout based on the buyer's location.

Tax invoices

When Stripe Tax is enabled, Stripe automatically generates tax invoices for eligible transactions. Customers can download their invoice from their order confirmation email.

Your obligations

Tax laws vary by country and business type. Zemers and Stripe provide tools to help, but you are responsible for registering where required and filing returns. Consult a tax advisor if you are unsure about your obligations.
