Automate SaaS Sales Tax with Stripe: Stay Compliant!
TL;DR
GoHighLevel now allows agencies to configure automatic sales tax collection for SaaS subscriptions directly through Stripe, ensuring compliance and transparent pricing for clients.
What changed
GoHighLevel has introduced an integration with Stripe to automate sales tax collection for SaaS subscriptions. This new capability is configured within the SaaS Configurator, allowing agencies to manage tax registrations by region, set product tax codes, and define tax behavior (automatic, inclusive, or exclusive) for their SaaS plans. Individual category-level overrides can also be applied for specific plans.
Why it matters
This update is crucial for maintaining compliance with global tax regulations, which can be complex and vary significantly by location. Automating tax collection eliminates manual calculations and potential errors, ensuring your agency and your clients remain compliant without extra administrative burden. It also provides transparent pricing to customers, showing them the exact cost at signup.
How to use it
To enable this feature, navigate to your SaaS Configurator within GoHighLevel. From there, you can turn on automatic tax collection and set up your tax registrations. You'll need to configure tax locations in Stripe and choose appropriate product tax codes. Remember that this feature applies to new subscriptions only. Utilize category-level overrides to tailor tax behavior for different SaaS plans as needed, ensuring accurate and compliant billing.
