Tax and VAT

With Teachable Payments, Teachable calculates, collects and pays sales tax, VAT and GST on your behalf in more than 45 markets, and sends buyers a tax invoice for every purchase. On your own Stripe account (custom payment gateway) it does none of this: the tax is yours to handle.
- The Standard bundle adds 0.5% to sales where tax is charged; Go Global waives it.
- Prices can include tax, or have it added where buyers expect that.
- Teachable's terms do not call it the merchant of record: you remain the seller.
- Outside the 41 Teachable Payments countries, only the custom gateway is open to you.
