# Collect tax with Checkout

Learn how to automatically calculate taxes using Stripe Checkout.

If you sell digital products, [Managed Payments](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/managed-payments/tax-compliance.md) transfers tax liability to Stripe, making us responsible for handling sales tax, VAT, and GST globally.

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 Stripe Checkout, start with the [Accept a Payment guide](https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/quickstart.md) first.

Before you start, confirm that your Stripe Tax settings are complete.
