## Tax in Canada

Stripe supports tax calculation for businesses making sales into Canadian provinces. The requirements for tax collection, the types of tax collected, and which types of transactions are included, vary from province to province.

### When and how to register for tax collection

The Canadian tax system consists of a combination of federal and provincial taxes.

If your business is based outside of Canada, Stripe monitors whether you must collect tax at the federal level and for each province that has its own tax. You can register to collect federal tax using either a simplified or a normal GST/HST registration.

If your business is based in Canada, Stripe monitors whether you must collect provincial taxes when you sell products in provinces other than the province of your business origin. To collect federal tax, you must register with the Canadian government using a normal GST/HST registration.

See [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/needs_attention) tab to get insights about your potential tax registration obligations in Canada. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the [monitoring tool](https://stripe.com/docs/tax/monitoring) works.

After registering to collect tax in a province or with the government, add your registration in [Locations](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations) to Stripe in the Dashboard to start collecting tax on your transactions in that location.
