# Collect tax with Checkout

Learn how to automatically calculate taxes using Stripe Checkout.

Stripe Tax automatically calculates taxes on purchases and *subscriptions* (A Subscription represents the product details associated with the plan that your customer subscribes to. Allows you to charge the customer on a recurring basis) during a Checkout session. If you haven’t integrated with Checkout, complete the [Accept a Payment guide](https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/quickstart.md) first.

> #### Transfer tax liability to Stripe
> 
> If you sell digital products, [Managed Payments](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments/tax-compliance.md) allows you to offload tax liability to Stripe so we’re directly responsible for handling sales tax, VAT, or GST globally. As a merchant of record solution, Managed Payments also handles fraud prevention, dispute management, and customer support on all transactions.
