# Collect tax in Asia Pacific

Learn how to collect tax in a country in Asia Pacific.

In the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, Stripe supports tax calculation for businesses making sales into a range of countries. The requirements for tax registration, as well as which types of transactions are included, vary from country to country.

For each country listed, you can find information about:

- The types of tax Stripe can help you collect.

- The registration threshold that determines when you’re required to register for tax collection.

- What kinds of products or sales are subject to tax calculation.

- The types of transactions covered.

- Resources about how to register with local tax authorities.

Stripe can collect tax if your business is based in Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore and United Arab Emirates. To collect tax on Stripe in other listed APAC countries, your business needs to be a remote seller with no physical presence (such as a shop or warehouse).

1Because Hong Kong doesn’t impose VAT or sales tax, you might need to register to collect tax on your sales in other countries.

## Threshold and registration for Hong Kong 

Hong Kong doesn’t impose VAT or sales tax. This means you won’t see an option to add your registration for Hong Kong to Stripe and collect taxes from your customers based in Hong Kong. However, Hong Kong does impose other taxes on businesses, including a profits tax.

## Supported calculations for Hong Kong 

Generally, most transactions are taxable in the jurisdiction where your customer is. Stripe assumes the sale of most goods or services to be taxable unless specifically exempted.

If you provide services related to admission to events and other venues, Stripe Tax considers them taxable in the country where the venue or event is located.
