## Tax Customizations

Stripe Tax allows you to customize tax behavior to fit your business needs. You can create rules that apply to a product tax code in any supported location.

For example, you can:

*   Change the "Software as a Service (SaaS) - personal use" tax code from taxable to non-taxable in Louisiana to reflect the uncertainty of how SaaS might be taxed.
*   Apply a 5% tax rate to the "Newspapers" tax code in Poland, instead of the applied rate of 8%, to reflect that your product is a regional newspaper and not a national one.
*   Treat the "Food for non-immediate consumption" tax code as taxable at the standard rate in New York, to reflect that you sell bagels with cream cheese.

After you create a tax customization, you are responsible for keeping the rate and taxability up to date with any changes in tax law. When you remove a tax customization, Stripe manages the updates.
